Back in 2016, Bezos was already deeply concerned about how his own spaceflight company, Blue Origin, didn’t seem to be progressing at nearly the same pace as SpaceX. As Ars Technica independently confirmed, Bezos even went as far as trying (and failing) to poach Gwynne Shotwell, the SpaceX COO who’d been with the company since nearly the beginning, and hire her as Blue Origin CEO to try and whip the company into shape.
