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 innovation for continual human presence in space– consisting of the so-called O’Neill cylinders, which are big habitats created to spin to reproduce Earth’s gravity for long-lasting locals and for on-board agriculture. It also plans to open a dedicated engine production center in Alabama this March. 2020 should also see Blue Origin fly its very 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 operating New Glenn, its orbital launch vehicle.
