O’Neill is known for his work with NASA in the 1970s, developing potential future innovation for continual human existence in space– including the so-called O’Neill cylinders, which are big environments created to spin to replicate Earth’s gravity for long-term citizens and for on-board farming. It also plans to open a dedicated engine manufacturing center in Alabama this March. 2020 must likewise see Blue Origin fly its first human passengers aboard New Shepard, its sub-orbital rocket, which is currently well along the path to human accreditation, and it’s looking to next year to start operating New Glenn, its orbital launch lorry.
