Amazon is hiring Rocket Engineers...frantically, given that they have not had any successful rocket launches themselves, and have contracted out to everybody and their dog to put their shit up into space. They're even talking to Space x now to contract launches out to them (if they will do it).

Space-X should charge them a recurring space usage fee.
