Jeff Bezos appeared on CNBC to discuss Blue Origin's mission to the moon, emphasizing the importance of utilizing lunar resources like silicon and water. Bezos argued that the moon is a necessary "step" before Mars, as it allows for the production of solar cells and rocket propellant from lunar dirt (regolith). He also addressed moon landing skeptics, asserting that the U.S. did reach the moon in 1969 but stopped due to the high cost, which he incorrectly cited as 3% of GDP.

Richard Branson completed a suborbital flight aboard Virgin Galactic's space plane, sparking a public rivalry with Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin over the definition of the edge of space. Critics argue the billionaire space race is a poor use of capital given the rising homelessness and infrastructure issues in cities like San Francisco. The technical differences between the Karman line at 62 miles and the NASA-recognized 50-mile boundary serve as a point of contention between the two aerospace companies.
