I'm John Paster. Behind the black, Bob Zimmerman is here to take us to space engineering and entrepreneurship

and the markets are paying mine. Bob, a very good evening to you. Blue Origin. I hesitate. Blue

Origin hesitates. However, it has ambition to compete with Star Lake. with what? Good evening, John.

Yes.

Earlier this week, Blue Origin announced that it is going to be developing and launching

its own satellite constellation with more than 5,400 satellites.

It's calling it TerraWave.

And this satellite constellation will do some of the same things as Starlink,

not identical, because it's also going to be focused on providing data, cloud capabilities for computers.

All the satellites are supposedly going to be interlinked. And so it'll be a giant computer,

what he called, hard drive in space, you could say. That's the idea. And this is not unlike what a

lot of other people are doing, including Starlink. What's, you know, of course the press,

other than you, John, the press has gone nuts about this. How now SpaceX has a competitor to Starlink from Blue Origin and Jeff Bezos.

And that's, of course, ridiculous because it's going to be two years before they launched its first satellite.

This is not yet a competitor with Starlink, but it's potentially one.

To me, the story here is the concept.

When Jeff Bezos first established Blue Origin,

he also established the Amazon Leo Constellation concept, which is like Starling, but it was from a different company. It was Amazon. And when he's now more or less backed out of Amazon, he sold a lot of his

stock. He still is a major stockholder, but he's no longer really directly involved. So the money

and revenue that Amazon Leo might get in orbit is not going to go to Blue Origin and what Jeff Bezos

wants to do. It's going to go to Amazon. And meanwhile, Jeff Bezos has

obviously seen what's happened with SpaceX, where it has Starlink as a subsidiary making money,
