Blue Origin's mission to moon

Blue Origin plans to begin building the infrastructure of a lunar base. The first mission was proposed for the year 2020, in partnership with the Boeing-built NASA Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. But in the year 2018, Jeff Bezos indicated his company may develop Blue Moon on its own. Showing off the massive rocket, created by his own company, Bezos wrote, “This is the engine that will take the first woman to the surface of the Moon. The BE-7 is a high-performance. The engine will power @BlueOrigin’s National Team HLS lunar lander’. The shared video is from a test at NASA's Space Flight Center at Hunstville, Alabama. According to the official website of Blue Origin, BE-7 is an additively manufactured, high-performance, dual-expander cycle engine, generating 40 kN (10,000 lbf) thrust.
