Blue Origin seems to be targeting a slightly different market. I'm not sure exactly what that market is yet, but its public goals have always seemed to lean further toward crewed vehicles than SpaceX's have.
I think it's still too early to be able have an interesting discussion comparing the two companies.
- rtkwe 6y agoTheir New Shepard seems very tourist friendly small and cheap because it's only doing a suborbital hop.
- manicdee 6y agoIt's been in development longer, and will not carry tourists to space before SpaceX has tourists in orbit. BO's development pace is glacial.
- rtkwe 6y agoWell New Shepard isn't ever going to bring tourist to orbit but it'll still be much more popular once it comes out because it will be significantly cheaper than the SpaceX offering.
