Blue Origin raises more — Bezos keeps building the moon base

Blue Origin is raising again, and Bezos is at it: launching rockets, building the Orion 1 habitat for the moon, and quietly turning his old Amazon parking lots into a moon-factory. This is the 150-year plan, not a VC exit play.

The round funds more Starship-class rockets and the lunar landers that will carry crews. It also extends the orbital bays at the White Sands site where the Orion 1 modules are being assembled. If you've been watching the moon landings and the SpaceX Starship launches, this is the other half of the story — the hardware that actually touches the surface.

Why this matters for us: a moon base means jobs for welders, machinists, and the people who build the pieces, not just the engineers writing code on the ground.
