We're not entirely sure how or why Bezos got involved with the "Star Trek" film — did he ask to be in it, or the other way around? — but Bezos is pretty familiar with the topic of space exploration. Bezos is the founder of Blue Origin, a private company working on putting humans in space via rocket-powered vehicles that can access suborbital and orbital space. The name of his company refers to Earth, as it is the “blue origin” of his company’s technology.
Bucket list. Cast, crew and Justin Lin @trailingjohnson were amazing. #StarTrekBeyondhttps://t.co/VJ95D8pQeK
