"I think the original Star Ship Enterprise. It is so iconic and cool looking, and I love Gene Roddenberry's vision for space exploration and the furthering of humankind. Not to mention, throughout his career, he consulted with the leading scientists of NASA and the greatest astronomers of his day to see what was possible then and down the road. As a result, so many of the possibilities he explored in his science fiction in the 1960s are the science fact of today. That's pretty cool and makes me excited about what's just over the horizon."

This is a standard Blue Origin interview question aimed at getting to know you as a person. Jeff Bezos explains that his experience watching the lunar mission as a child excited his imagination and fueled his passion for this industry. So this ice-breaker aims to reveal where the source of your pursuit in the aerospace industry began. Have fun with this question, and be yourself. Show them your personality and how well you'll fit in with their teams.
