Bezos said in the interview that he wants Blue Origin to make space travel so cheap that we can fly to the moon “100 times cheaper.”

“Space travel is a solved problem. It’s been solved for fifty years. What’s unsolved is the cost,” Bezos said in the video.

Solving the problem of cheap and easy space travel is “what will really open the heavens to humanity” and make possible the “entrepreneurial dynamism in space that I just got to witness up close and personal over the last 20 years on the internet,” Bezos said.

“If the minimum size to do any useful experiment is many, many millions of dollars, then you just can’t get, you know, two kids in a dorm room making the next amazing invention,” he added. “The barrier of entry is too high.”
