Bezos: Spacecraft Fuel To Be Harvested From Moon

Amazon and Blue Origin Founder Jeff Bezos is giving more insight into his space company's lunar plans. Speaking at the JFK Space Summit in Boston, Bezos says he is building a spacecraft that will eventually be powered with fuel harvested from the moon.

Blue Origin is developing its "Blue Moon" Lunar Lander, which was unveiled last month. Bezos said Blue Moon is powered by a BE-7 engine, which uses hydrogen and oxygen as its two fuel sources.

Blue Moon is large enough to carry several people as well as cargo to and from the lunar surface. Bezos has said previously that Blue Moon fits NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon by 2024.
