they hired a ceo of a guy named bob smith. he was hired to come in as the company moved from this hobby shop development to flying missions in space and working with the department of defense and smith made blue origin more like a company closer to boeing or nevada or lockheed martin. it's interesting there are some parallels in history in 2006, he hired his first ceo from a launch company and he was very much a s traditional ceo, kind f the adult in the room and lasted nine months because he didn't fith in with the culture. people were wearing shorts and t-shirts and flip-flops. he doesn't care. he's like get your job done. and as i say, he clashed and was gone pretty quickly. >> i think the one thing about the spaceflight is that it can be a unifying experience at the outset it was a cold war type thing. it was the soviets in the united states and we were both trying to show the supremacy of the various forms of government but since the 19 '90s we worked with the soviets and the russians and so it has been a unifying adventu

bob smith was saying over the weekend that there are willing and paying customers out there.he fourth seat was supposed to go to the auction winner, but we are told there were others bitting in the region of $20 million. we are trying to go about how they will go about pricing this. two more missions, six paying customers, the constraint is that they only have a couple of boosters able to do this. remember, jeff was candid in that interview that this part of the business is a small part of the much greater ambition. emily: let's talk about that, new shepard going up and down is one thing, new glenn is what they are worry -- working on now they say it will be ready at the end of next year. that will do orbital -- that will do orbital missions. when blue origin starts doing orbital missions, what does that mean? ed: this is an important day, but it has been a long time coming. jeff bezos founded the company in 2000 and they have fallen behind space x. they were focused on this narrow issue of sending paying customers that space acts launched far ahead when it comes to orbital l

blue origin hired a ceo, bob smith and he was from honeywell aerospace, and jeff bezos hired him to come in as the company moved from this hobby shop development company to an operational company flying missions into space and winning nasa contracts and working with the department of defense. smith has made blue origin a lot more like a traditional aerospace company, much more closer to a boeing or sierra nevada or a a lockheed martin thank you a spacex. it's interesting there some parallel history. 2006 elon musk hired his first ceo, a guy named jim mazer from sea launch which was a large company partly owned by boeing. so a traditional launch company, and he was very much a traditional ceo sort of coming in, being the adults in the room you go from startup to a bigger company. he lasted nine months because it didn't fit in with the culture. people on the floor were wearing shorts and t-shirts and flip-flops, which elon doesn't care about. he's like get your job done. as i say he and elon clashed and he was gone but he quickly. >> all right. this is from bruce. our world is deeply divid
