The world's wealthiest man was in Florida on Tuesday on a rather heartwarming business trip. Amazon CEO and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos was at the Port of Pensacola, according to a late-night post on his Instagram account. Bezos and his family held a small ceremony to rename Blue Origin's 600-foot landing ship — which has been docked at the port since late 2018 — after his mother, Jacklyn. Blue Origin rocket ship New Glenn, which projects to test launch for the first time in 2021, will land on Jacklyn after each flight, according to Bezos.
