       | Amazon was little more than a bookstore at that time, ok a really
       | big bookstore, but nothing like the company we know today. SpaceX
       | didn't exist and Elon Musk still had PayPal. The ISS has just
       | been launched and was serviced by the Space Shuttle, Mir was
       | still up there.

       | That website looked straight out of Geocities (it was a thing
       | back then), I guess it shows the low key approach of Blue Origin,
       | especially when compared to SpaceX hype machine (not a criticism
       | of SpaceX, just pointing out different communication strategies).
