Forbes ranks him the richest person on this planet, worth some $202 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Musk, the colorful 49-year-old founder of Tesla and SpaceX as well as other companies, including one working to mesh human brains with computers, is in third place with a worth of $173 billion, according to the ranking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Satellite networks &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Dreams of private companies taking to the stars &#8212; instead of leaving such wonders to governments &#8212; have developed into projects to deploy networks of satellites providing wireless internet service and for space tourism.<\/p>\n<p>While SpaceX and Blue Origin have the benefit of founders with ample financial resources, they also compete for contracts with US military or space agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has a clear lead over Bezos.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX has deployed hundreds of satellites into orbit, while a Kuiper satellite network remains Earth-bound despite Bezos pledging $10 billion in backing.<\/p>\n<p>Musk even formed an alliance with Microsoft, which is Amazon&#8217;s biggest rival in the cloud computing market, to use its Azure platform to provide satellite-powered internet service, the companies announced late last year.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft said it will also work with SpaceX on a government contract to build satellites as part of a defense system capable of detecting and tracking ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the US Department of Defense last year awarded a $10 billion &#8220;JEDI&#8221; cloud computing contract to Microsoft instead of Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon has alleged it was shut out of the deal because of a vendetta against the company and Bezos by former US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rocket to riches? &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>NASA has developed confidence in SpaceX, which has been trusted to shuttle supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station, according to Foundation for Strategic Research space specialist Xavier Pasco.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Origin, in contrast, hasn&#8217;t made that &#8220;important step,&#8221; Pasco noted.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos has been left to challenge SpaceX in court here on planet Earth.<\/p>\n<p>He announced early this year that he is stepping down as chief executive of Amazon and planned to spend more time on other projects including Blue Origin.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos has cited the futuristic vision of late physicist and space advocate Gerard O&#8217;Neill, but has mocked Musk&#8217;s talk of colonizing Mars.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos has made it clear he thinks the red planet is not a spot for a home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who want to move to Mars?&#8221; Bezos said at a conference in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do me a favor, go live on the top of Mount Everest for a year first, and see if you like it &#8212; because it\u2019s a garden paradise compared to Mars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The rivalry between Bezos and Musk comes with out-of-this-world financial stakes.<\/p>\n<p>Analyst Ives predicted that the &#8220;monetization&#8221; of space would launch in earnest soon, with trillions of dollars to be made.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bezos and Musk know that the winner of the space battle will be crowned within the next one or two years,&#8221; Ives said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"storypage-social-bottom\">\n<div class=\"leftside-socialshare\">\n<div
