With Blue Origin set to make an announcement at Cape Canaveral on Sept. 15, the space entrepreneur talked about the changing dynamic out at the Cape.

Richards’ organization, Moon Express, is considered by many to be one of the leading contenders to win the Google Lunar X-PRIZE. The $20 million grand prize has inspired an array of organizations to develop spacecraft and rovers to touch down and traverse on the surface of the Moon. Moon Express joins Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic as the perceived front-runners in this private effort.

Moon Express, through an agreement aided by Space Florida, has taken control of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 36A (SLC-36A).
