Blue Origin officially opens its new HQ and R&D center
O’Neill is known for his work with NASA in the 1970s, conceiving potential future technology for continual human presence in space– including the so-called O’Neill cylinders, which are big habitats created to spin to reproduce Earth’s gravity for long-lasting residents and for on-board farming. It also plans to open a devoted engine production center in Alabama this March. 2020 should likewise see Blue Origin fly its first human guests aboard New Shepard, its sub-orbital rocket, which is presently well along the course to human accreditation, and it’s looking to next year to start running New Glenn, its orbital launch automobile.
