Jeff Bezos said Blue Origin is likely to pursue an IPO in the coming years after completing its first external financing. He said he now has a clearer view of the company’s financial outlook; Blue Origin recently raised $10 bln from external investors and may raise more, and Bezos has personally funded about $28 bln since founding. He added the process could take "a few years." The company plans a December reflight of its New Glenn rocket, aimed at competing with SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
