Blue Origin, the space company owned by Jeff Bezos, is laying off roughly 10 percent of its work force, according to an email that was sent to staff on Thursday and that was viewed by The New York Times.<\/p>\n

The cuts, which could affect about 1,000 roles, follow several years of rapid growth and the successful launch last month of New Glenn<\/a>, the company\u2019s massive reusable rocket.<\/p>\n

Blue Origin\u2019s chief executive, Dave Limp, said in the email that the company had become bloated, and that the cuts would be in engineering, research and development, project management, and general managerial layers.<\/p>\n

He added that Blue Origin\u2019s leaders had determined that their priority for 2025 and beyond was \u201cto scale our manufacturing output and launch cadence with speed, decisiveness and efficiency for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Blue Origin does not disclose how many employees it has, but its work force is widely estimated to be more than 10,000 people.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has poured billions into Blue Origin. He has long described a vision of establishing human colonies in space<\/a>, and said bringing down the cost of launching cargo into space was critical. But his company has lagged behind the development of Elon Musk\u2019s private space company, SpaceX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
