Has Blue Origin put anything in space yet? Rocketlabs and spacex have regular commercial clients, and even virgin orbital have reached orbit.
(and of course ULA keep launching just like they always did)
- chriswarbo 5y agoThey've crossed the Kármán line, but only for a few minutes at a time (going up, then falling back down). They've not reached orbit (going sideways fast enough to "miss the ground"). Their New Glenn rocket hasn't flown yet (and probably hasn't been built yet; they're very secretive, compared to e.g. SpaceX). Their engines will be used on ULA's upcoming Vulcan rocket, which should be a low-risk source of income for them, but also low-reward compared to rockets and spacecraft.
