Is Amazon.com just a piggy bank for a rocket launching company?
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, is like Musk in that he made billions of dollars from Internet companies and then started a rocket company.
Bezos is expected to be at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Sept. 15 to announce his Blue Origin company will launch its New Shepard rockets there. He possibly also will reveal plans for rocket processing, assembly or even manufacturing for the Space Coast.
The New Shepard, twice test-launched from Blue Origin's private launch complex in west Texas, is designed as a reusable, suborbital vehicle that one day could carry tourist passengers.

Don't be surprised if Bezos, Musk, and their ilk someday leave us behind on this dying planet and blast off to greener pastures.
