Amazon's Jeff Bezos Sets His Sights on the Stars

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo News is reporting that Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos is looking to open a 'rocket-ship complex' for his new startup Blue Origin early next year. From the article: 'Blue Origin has released few details about the project. But a Texas newspaper editor who interviewed Bezos earlier this year said the billionaire talked [about] sending a spaceship into orbit that launches and lands vertically, like a rocket, and eventually building spaceships that can orbit the Earth -- possibly leading to permanent colonies in space.'"

He will pay for the rocket with stolen money. I was charged in november by Amazon for a book I did not order and it was shipped overnight $27 charge overall for a 10.95 book. I found it came thru my Amazon store which I had setup just a few weeks before. I called and spoke with someone who said no problem to refunding my money but I would have to pay the shipping since it wasn't their fault. It was a good thing this guy was at the end of a phoneline... I had to inundate their email boxes - any email link, after getting no reply from their regular customer service email but after 5 weeks I did get a full refund. Google: Amazon credit card fraud. This link is similiar to what happen to me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14782168 Click on link there http://www.complaints.com/directory/2004/december/ 21/18.htm I was lucky because others are still waiting for their refund. I guess they weren't as mad as I was. I kept saying in my emails that they committed credit card fraud, which they did.

Dear passengers, the space station is now entering Iranian outer space.

Would the ladies please cover their face and the men pray. We will be leaving Iranian outer space in 6 minutes and will enter the Turkish outer space, where you will receive instructions and the proper customs forms.
