In 2016, Jeff Bezos offered to the President and Operations Director of the American company Spacex Gwynn Scerel, to take a similar position in his Blue Origin, writes Ars Technica, referring to the book Brad Stone, dedicated to the richest man in the world.
The publication describes that Schremen immediately refused to offer a badge. According to Stool, the main Blue Origin error, which can be called the only real competitor Spacex, was in personnel politics.
So, the executive director of the company was appointed Bob Smith from Honeywell Aerospace.
“The governing team Smith attracted people from companies that are not revolutionary changes, but rather traditional in astronautics approaches. Many of his high-ranking employees came from Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, aerospace division Rolls-Royce and other authentic companies. These leaders together with Smith have formed caution culture, and not conscious risk taking to act faster, “Stone is sure.
Ars Technica notes that there is a breaking of the success of Ilona Mask, heading Spacex.
In April, Mask warned that the first people who would fly to Mars should be preparing to die on earth.
