Bezos' Blue Origin to build space data centres after his other firm opposed Musk's similar plan

Billionaire Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has applied for permission to launch over 50,000 satellites to build data centres in space. This comes days after Bezos's other company, Amazon Leo, objected to billionaire Elon Musk's rival firm, Starlink, launching one million satellites with a similar aim. Blue Origin said the project will "ease mounting pressure on US communities and natural resources".
