Bezos Planning "Space Business Park": Is This the Next Real Estate Investing Frontier?
Space may be the final frontier, but it's also the last place you'd think of to put a business park. Unless, of course, you're Jeff Bezos. Although it's far from what you might imagine a business park to be, Bezos' Blue Origin has partnered with several aerospace interests to create the first commercial business park in space: Orbital Reef. They plan to have it up and running by the end of the 2020s, just in time to replace the soon-to-be decommissioned International Space Station (ISS).
As futuristic and far-fetched as a business park in space may sound, Bezos' team isn't the only one determined to create the world's longest commute. Lockheed Martin has teamed with other space hopefuls to race Blue Origins to space with their Starlab. Although currently planned as a research station, Starlab is still considered a part of NASA's Commercial Low-Earth Orbit Destination project, which supports the development of private space stations and pushing the growth of a "space economy."
