Iannotta talks about some conspiracy theory of the Collier Trophy. When Jeff Bezos took to the podium at a northern Virginia hotel to receive the 2016 Collier award, there was no tearing down of the past to prop up the future. He did not blame government bureaucrats and standing armies of managers and technicians for miring them in exorbitant space launch costs. He offered no claims about saving humanity from sure doom by going to space. After some thanks to his employees and his parents, that was how the Blue Origin New Shepard joined 101 other recipients whose names are inscribed on the Collier Trophy at the National Air and Space Museum.
