Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, recently stated that his rocket company is likely to go public within the next few years. This comes after one of Blue Origin's rockets, worth $150 million, exploded during a test, setting back the company in its competition against SpaceX, led by Elon Musk. Despite this setback, Bezos highlighted a significant funding round of $10 billion for Blue Origin last month, which included outside investors and $2 billion from Bezos himself, as an indication that the company is ready to become public. The financial future "now has clarity," he said during a visit to Blue Origin's factory in Florida. Since founding Blue Origin in 2000, Bezos has invested over $28 billion of his own money into the company, which operates commercial launch services and builds lunar landers among other projects. Revenue for Blue Origin is projected to grow from $800 million last year to over $30 billion by 2030.
