Jeff Bezos plans $100 billion space station to replace International Space Station

Jeff Bezos's company, Blue Origin, plans to build a new space station called Orbital Reef, costing $100 billion. This station will replace the International Space Station, which is set to end operations in 2031. Orbital Reef will be the first commercially owned space station, with a launch scheduled for 2027 and full operations expected by 2030. It will support scientific research and space tourism, featuring large windows for views of Earth and space. Blue Origin is collaborating with Sierra Space, Amazon, and Boeing on the project. The station will initially accommodate 10 people, with plans to expand capacity and add modules for various activities over time.
