The news of Jeff Bezos stepping down as CEO of Amazon was initially surprising, but upon further thought, it may be perfect timing. In his memo to Amazon employees, he states he will now have the time to focus on other passions, including the aerospace company he founded in 2000 - Blue Origin. I believe the so-called billionaire space race is fixing to heat up, and the significance of Bezos focusing more energy around Blue Origin deserves some attention.
