The comments come in part because spacex mission profiles are more demanding. Falcon 9 thrust / payload capacity is 10-20Kg to mars level launch capability. New Shepherd is crossing the Karan line. Both totally cool, but very different. Just thrust alone is probably something like 23,000 vs 500 kN?
Most of us are rooting for Blue Origin to succeed despite the fact they worked together with ULA to try and block spacex access to a pad in florida (total BS!).
Seriously, build the orbital rocket then Nasa SHOULD give you space or make spacex provide space if needed - but the claims of need between 2013 and 2018 for the nasa pad seemed totally bogus.
