10月7日：亿万富翁杰夫·贝索斯在周三表示，Blue Origin可能会在未来几年内进行首次公开募股。
此前，这家太空公司在最新一轮融资中从外部投资者那里筹集了100亿美元。
Oct 7 : Blue Origin is likely to pursue an initial public offering in the coming years, billionaire founder Jeff Bezos said on Wednesday, after the space company raised $10 billion from outside investors for the first time in a funding round. "I think, someday, Blue Origin will have an IPO...
贝索斯在FOX新闻频道的《Special Report with Bret Baier》节目中说道：‘我认为，总有一天Blue Origin会进行IPO……这可能还需要几年的时间。
但让Blue Origin成为一家上市公司在某个时候是合理的。’
It would be several years from now. But it probably makes sense for Blue Origin to be a public company at some point," Bezos said on FOX News Channel's "Special Report with Bret Baier".
这些言论是贝索斯迄今为止最明确的信号，表明Blue Origin可能会寻求在股市上市。如果成功上市，投资者将有机会投资这家重要的太空公司。
尽管竞争对手SpaceX已于6月上市，但它仍然是该领域的主导者。
The remarks are Bezos' clearest indication yet that Blue Origin could seek a stock market listing. An eventual IPO would offer investors exposure to a major space company amid renewed interest in the sector, though rival SpaceX, which listed in June, remains the dominant player.
贝索斯还创立了亚马逊公司，并表示自2000年成立以来个人已向Blue Origin投资了280亿美元。
Bezos, who also founded Amazon.com, said he has personally invested $28 billion in Blue Origin since establishing the company in 2000.
《华尔街日报》9月份报道称，Blue Origin最近的融资使其估值达到1400亿美元。
The Wall Street Journal reported in September that Blue Origin's recent funding round valued it at $140 billion.
Blue Origin成立于埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX大约18个月之前，在获得NASA和美国太空军的数十亿美元合同（包括参与阿尔忒弥斯月球计划）的过程中，主要依赖贝索斯的资金支持。
Founded about 18 months before Elon Musk's SpaceX, Blue Origin has largely relied on Bezos for funding while securing multibillion-dollar NASA and US Space Force contracts, including for work on the Artemis lunar program.
由于5月份在静态点火测试中发射台发生爆炸，Blue Origin暂停了与SpaceX在商业发射市场的竞争。贝索斯表示：‘今年12月，我们将再次发射那艘火箭。’
Blue Origin aims to resume New Glenn launches this year after a launch-pad explosion during a static-fire test in May delayed its efforts to compete with SpaceX in the commercial launch market. "December of this year, we're going to fly that vehicle again," Bezos said.
