Blue Origin boss: Government should forget launch and focus on "exotic" missions
Briefly

Dave Limp, the new CEO of Blue Origin, emphasizes the need for collaboration between commercial enterprises and NASA in exploring the Solar System. With no prior experience in space, Limp shifted from his role at Amazon, motivated by a desire to contribute philanthropically in his career's second phase. He acknowledges the existing expertise at Blue Origin, highlighting the importance of leadership in scaling operations rather than merely focusing on rocket science, reflecting a strategic approach to future lunar missions.
"There's not yet a commercial reason only to go to the Moon with humans."
"I had no thoughts of ever running a space company."
"I think Jeff convinced me, and he's very persuasive, that Blue didn't need another rocket scientist."
