About Blue Origin
“It’s this generation’s job to build a road to space, so that future generations can unleash their creativity.”
- Jeff Bezos
Our Mission
We’re Building a Road to Space for the Benefit of Earth
Blue Origin means "Earth." We envision a future where millions of people will live and work in space with a single-minded purpose: to restore and sustain Earth, our blue origin.
Mission ObjectiveRadically Reduce the Cost of Access to Space
Reusability is the key to radically reducing the cost of spaceflight. Our rockets, New Shepard and New Glenn, have been designed for reusability from the start. Each vehicle features a vertical take-off and landing architecture, enabling booster re-use up to 25 times with minimal refurbishment. They are powered by reusable, throttleable, liquid propellant engines.
Mission ObjectiveHarness the Vast Resources of Space
The road to space will be built from the limitless treasures of the solar system. We must learn to "live off the land" to fully realize the promise of space for the benefit of Earth.
Today, Blue Origin is learning to harness materials found in space to enable future exploration. This includes using lunar dust to ultimately produce solar power systems, power transmission cables, and oxygen for propellants and human consumption, as well as developing systems to identify water ice on the Moon's south pole for extraction of hydrogen to refuel our landers.
Mission ObjectiveInspire and Mobilize Future Generations
Our vision spans generations. This generation will lay the groundwork, and future generations will carry the torch.
Founded by Blue Origin, Club for the Future is a nonprofit with the mission to inspire and mobilize future generations to pursue careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The Club and its partners are doing this through the Postcards to Space program, providing space-focused lessons and events, and activating ambassadors around the world.

Our Symbol, The Feather
The feather represents our relentless pursuit of the perfection of flight and the promise of a graceful and safe return to planet Earth, just like a feather's gentle descent through our precious atmosphere.
Safety Is Our Highest Value
As a human spaceflight company, safety underlies everything we do.
