While record-breaking wildfires burned across the Western United States, Amazon executive chairman and billionaire Jeff Bezos stepped out of his space capsule to a crowd of cheering fans. His company Blue Origin’s first launch into space was a success.
Bezos became the second billionaire to reach space and cement his stature as a leading private space industry figure. The three billionaires building the private space industry so far are: Richard Branson with Virgin Galactic, Elon Musk with SpaceX and Bezos with Blue Origin. Musk has yet to make the trip to space himself.

Print article SEATTLE Alaska Airlines on Wednesday announced a plan to join the Amazon Climate Pledge and reduce the airline’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2040, with interim goals for specific cuts in carbon, waste, and water use by 2025. Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci called it a “bold path to reduce our climate impact near and long term.” Before 2020, when air travel was expanding worldwide, global airlines were facing pressure to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. That pressure has eased a little during the COVID-19 pandemic, but is still present especially in Europe.
