Who is Jeff Bezos’s space odyssey really for?

Blue Origin, so far anyway, lands less poetically. Yes, the company may eventually provide benefits to plenty of people who aren’t on its ships. But the private space race is, well, private. When Bezos dons a special blue suit, soars 66.5 miles high, tosses a zero-gravity candy into the mouth of the 18-year-old child of a millionaire, and dons a cowboy hat for a post-flight presser, it feels less like celebration for all mankind and more like an individual victory lap.
