Odbywa się ISDC2018 - International Space Development Conference. Wystąpił właśnie na niej m.in. Jeff Bezos, a oto kilka najważniejszych jego wypowiedzi wg ćwierknięć Jeffa Fousta:
- on lowering the cost of space access: this is not something we choose to do, it’s something we must do.
- key to lowering the cost of access to space is reusability. Start with booster stage, be able to fly it 100 times, demonstrate “operable” reusability.
- rockets, by the way, like to be big.
- we’ve bought the ship that will serve as landing pad for New Glenn first stage. Start refitting it soon.
- I’m a big fan of administration’s policy to return to the Moon. Need to do that before we can go to Mars.
- I love ESA’s Moon Village concept. Sensible to be colocated.
