Lex Fridman hangs out with Jeff Bezos

Lex Fridman’s X.com Post

I had the chance to meet and hang out with @JeffBezos.

He is a great human being, and is super fun to talk to in part because he is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of rocket engineering & manufacturing, but also because of his humility and thoughtfulness.

He gave me a tour of the Blue Origin rocket factory and launch complex in Cape Canaveral and we went up to the top of the tower on the launchpad.

Looking out across the landscape towards the setting sun, standing where future astronauts will stand, I had an immense feeling of awe and excitement that humanity can take on such epic endeavors, boldly reaching out toward the stars.

Afterwards we ate burgers at a local bar, and talked about life. What a surreal day.

I'll probably do a podcast soon, it'll be a fun one.
