That is a good article. Hadn't seen a complete description of New Glenn before, thanks. I'm very curious to see how the economics pencil out.
I'm a little skeptical that it will be possible for Blue Origin to catch SpaceX with the first iteration of their rocket. It took SpaceX a while to master all of the competencies to get where they are, with a number of setbacks (and explosions) along the way. Its likely Blue Origin will face a number of those all well before they are routinely launching reused rockets like SpaceX is today.
So, I'd guess SpaceX has about 5 years before it has to worry about Blue Origin.
