Are you really contributing to the conversation when you leave out important stuff (like everything BO is working on), and then, when challenged, call something that's scheduled to be flight qualified in 2017 "far off future stuff"?
I'm all for you being excited about whatever excites you, but when I read HN, that's not really what I'm hoping to read about.
- mikeash 11y agoAre you referring to the BE-4 engine as the thing that's scheduled to be flight qualified in 2017? Sorry, a new engine doesn't really excite me either. A new rocket would. It looks like their orbital rocket is scheduled for 2020 at the moment. As for not wanting to read about what excites me, the comment up there explicitly asked why people aren't excited for both companies, and I answered the question. If that's not what you want to read about, I think you took a wrong turn.
