What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAs we told you earlier, Bezos says a Blue Origin IPO makes sense. New tonight: the numbers. Skip is live outside a rocket facility. Skip?

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentKenji, I'm standing in a ditch beside a fence.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentPer Benzinga, Blue Origin raised ten billion dollars at a reported one hundred forty billion dollar valuation.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentBezos says an IPO could come several years from now.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentA guard just told me this is a private road, a private fence and, quote, a private puddle. I'm standing in the puddle.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentLet's find someone to talk to.
Darnell PruittI'm Darnell, a retired HVAC guy. A hundred forty billion dollars and the rocket still has to land? My garage door barely works.
Darnell PruittI'd wait for the first day of trading, honestly.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentDarnell, that's the sharpest analysis I've had all week, and I'm wet to the knees.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentBenzinga also notes this could be a mega-cap exit for Amazon. Back to you, Kenji.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThanks, Skip. A hundred forty billion dollars is like, what, a ton of Bitcoin? I'm not doing that math at this hour.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSorry about the puddle, bro.
