    and from the article:
    Blue Origin's team has been laying the groundwork for the hush-hush project from a 53,000-square-foot warehouse in Seattle, but this week's announcement fills out a puzzle that previously could only be guessed on the basis of isolated rumors.

    Yeah, sounds like an engineered ploy all the way. Feed the lapdog corporate media a line about how hush hush it is, even while you are making a public announcement about it.

    Are Americans EVER going to catch on?

    Get a life, Slashdorks. You keep modding +5 the same stupid, snide patent jokes every single time any Amazon/Bezos story is posted. It was funny, oh, maybe six years ago. Grow up and move on.
