He knows, but the public doesn't and he can say what he wants to twist the perception in his favor and give the impression that the feats were equally challenging.
Not to remove any merit to Blue Origin's achievement, but it's nowhere near what SpaceX just pulled off.
- aggie 11y agoThe public that cares about this achievement (or Blue Origin's) likely understands the difference.
- jacquesm 11y agoAs does the public that might decide to host a bunch of stuff with AWS (or not). Really bad move on Bezos' part, not everything is economics.
- calinet6 11y agoI guarantee our ops team will not make infrastructure buying decisions based on the quality of their aerospace side-projects.
- mikeash 11y agoI disagree. There are a lot of people out there who are interested in space but don't really understand it. Just one anecdote, I spent twenty minutes explaining the difference to my father after BO's landing, which he genuinely thought was beating SpaceX to the punch.
