Blue Origins claims that the lunar lander will be able to take humans to the Moon's south pole by 2024.
Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos has unveiled a mock-up of a new lunar lander spacecraft that aims to take equipment and humans to the Moon by 2024.It will feature a new rocket engine called BE-7 that can blast 10,000 pounds of thrust.Mr Bezos presented the Moon goals of his space exploration company Blue Origin at the Washington Convention Center in Washington DC, to an audience consisting of potential customers and officials from Nasa.
The water derived from that ice can be broken down to produce hydrogen, which could then fuel up the spacecraft for further missions across the solar system. In his speech, Mr Bezos said that Blue Origin would be able to meet Trump's deadline, but"only because" the firm had begun designing the lunar lander in 2016.
