New opportunities for the aerospace industry are taking flight in Wichita. On Wednesday, Kansas Senator Jerry Moran toured several facilities with a company that could make a big impact on the economy. Owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the company Blue Origin is an innovative aerospace manufacturer that builds reusable launch vehicles, rocket engines, and is a significant partner with the United States in its efforts to remain a leader in the space domain. The company manufactures New Shepard, a rocket you’ll see take off and go to space on July 20. Blue Origin CEO, Dr. Bob Smith, toured several Wichita aviation businesses, even sending out a proposal to work with a Wichita company.
