I can't guess why Bezos does what he does but have to give him credit for not going the Soros route...WP aside of course.
If I were him, I'd avoid anything Musk (who sucks all the air out of the room) is involved in. Build the worlds biggest telescope, work on advanced propulsion technology for launch or interplanetary spacecraft, there's a lot of cool things out there. I doubt that the first investor in anything really cutting edge is going to make a profit, so look for the wow factor.
- travisporter 5y agoThis is Eric Berger's take as well - for example, second stage propulsion, in-space manufacturing for his Dyson cylinders vision, lunar habs would be so much cooler.
- manquer 5y agoIn the space launch and satellite industries there is natural monopoly characteristics. Amazon loves this kind of businesses, be it AWS or delivery they like to use their size in that sector as competitive advantage. They are not trying to be cool, for Bezos this is just another enormous money making play.
