Blue Origin will ‘move heaven and Earth’ to help NASA reach the Moon faster, CEO says

Blue Origin stands ready to help NASA achieve its goals with regard to landing humans on the Moon as soon as possible, the company’s chief executive said Saturday in an interview with Ars.

Limp spoke on Saturday, about 24 hours ahead of the company’s second launch of the large New Glenn rocket.
