Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith joins Disrupt SF to talk about bringing the Moon within reach

Private spaceflight company Blue Origin has its sights set on the Moon, and in May unveiled a new lander to help it get there. This October, Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith will join us onstage at Disrupt SF 2019 to talk about how the company plans to get to the Moon, and beyond -- and what the opportunities are for private space companies once it does. Smith and the Jeff Bezos -backed Blue Origin have been busy with more than just building lunar landers: It has been testing the company's New Shepard spacecraft since 2015 and through this year, when it plans to perform its first crewed mission.
