 'That's kind of bad news for Elon and SpaceX.'


Amazon announced that it had signed an agreement to launch its own "row" of satellites in Earth's orbit to provide internet services to the masses.


The agreement was signed with Arianespace, Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance (ULA) which is the largest commercial gain for a space launch vehicle.


However, for now details on the overall cost and launch period for the Amazon satellite project called the 'Kuiper Project' have not been disclosed.


According to Amazon Right's Naib President, Dave Limp, it's still too early to cheer and his team will continue their efforts to go further to ensure the project is a success.



The Naib President of Blue Origin also added, they strongly support Amazon's efforts to provide affordable and trustworthy broadband to stable unserved communities around the world.


For knowledge, the Kuiper Project aims to provide high-speed broadband internet services to homes, schools, hospitals, commerce, disaster relief operations and other places without strong results.


Amazon is said to be deeply developing Kuiper and planning to leverage existing capabilities in other areas such as logistics operations and AWS' public computing branch.


Again, Jeff Besoz is believed to have used part of his Amazon fortune to create and finance the space exploration company Blue Origin.


Meanwhile, the news of Amazon's triumph is sure to make Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX 'hot'.


It is common knowledge that SpaceX has dominated Earth's space so far with nearly 1,500 Starlink satellites floating in orbit, and in collaboration with Microsoft, it has used the Azure platform to provide its own version of internet services.
