Finally a rich guy who does something interesting with his cash

Jeff Bezos. Doesn't sound like an overly cool name, does it? Well that aside, this dude is pretty awesome. Bezos is the guy who founded Amazon.com, which in itself is pretty impressive. But, having made his bazillion dollars, many people would be content just lounging by the pool with a drink and a very tiny unbrella to keep the drink shaded. Not Jeffy boy. Buddy recently bought up 165,000 acres of desolate ranch land in the middle of Texas. For what you ask? Here's the cool bit: to build his own spaceport. Apparently he plans to build a port along with a reusable rocket that takes off and lands vertically (not like the current NASA craft which are basically planes with big rockets duck taped on the back, and fewer peanuts). Early missions are evidently just for kicks, taking other uber-rich people to the edge of space, though he ultimately wants to set up some sort of space colony. I don't know if this guy is way ahead of the curve or way out of his meds, but either way it's certainly an interesting idea. Godspeed sir!
