Mentioned in 98 analyzed podcast episodes across 10 shows
Founded by Jeff Bezos, this commercial aerospace company is primarily known for developing lunar landers and the New Glenn heavy-lift rocket as part of NASA's Artemis program, competing directly with SpaceX for lunar landing contracts. The company previously operated New Shepard suborbital flights before shifting focus to orbital and lunar capabilities. It frequently appears in podcast discussions as a key player in the modern commercial space race and as an example of billionaire-backed space ventures reshaping government space exploration partnerships.
