Jeff Bezos attended our 2018 International Space Development Conference to accept the Gerard K. O’Neill Memorial Award for space settlement promotion. Gerard’s widow Tasha presented the award. He also met with attendees, gave a sit-down talk with journalist Alan Boyle, and met with his hero Freeman Dyson. Also, he was happy to announce that the Science Fiction series The Expanse has been saved for a fourth season to be produced by Amazon Prime.
