Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Jeff Bezos, is laying off 10 percent of its workforce - approximately 1,400 employees - in an effort to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy, CEO Dave Limp announced in an internal email.
The layoffs primarily impact program and project management, research and development, and engineering roles. The move aligns with Blue Origin’s annual operating plan, which aims to ramp up manufacturing and increase the frequency of rocket launches. The company is among several planning commercial moon missions for 2025.
Despite recent successes, including the January launch of its New Glenn orbital rocket and a return to space tourism in December 2024, Blue Origin remains behind competitor SpaceX, which has conducted more frequent launches. Reducing staff may help the company cut costs, a priority for Bezos, according to Ars Technica.
