Jeff Bezos’ rocket company Blue Origin is cutting 10% of its workforce. The move comes just a month after the debut of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, which reached orbit on its first try. CEO Dave Limp relayed the layoff news to employees Thursday. In an email to staff, Limp said it was a “tough decision” but that the company grew too fast over the past few years. Based in Washington state, Blue Origin launches its New Glenn rockets from Florida and its smaller New Shepard rockets from Texas.
