I admire the faith he demonstrates in his team, by being among the first human lives at risk in a launched Blue Origin vehicle.
But maybe 57 is just the new 27.
- bpodgursky 5y agoFair enough. But suborbital hops are so 2010. Not gonna get out of bed for anything less than LEO.
- imglorp 5y agoYeah, it seems suborbital is really only good for tourism and getting good rocketry practice. At least they're on the path to orbital: New Glenn appears to be late 2022 with some customers booked in 2023.
- bpodgursky 5y agoI will believe literally nothing about the New Glenn until it launches. Not to mention landing the first stage, which was the only part which made this rocket competitive, and is _extremely_ hard to get right on the first try.
- hourislate 5y agoSpace X will be landing the Starship on the Moon and Bozo will still be flying 3-4 people to the stratosphere. Guy should stick to what he is good at, running a sweat shop and trinket delivery. I put more faith in Boeing as I find Blue Origin more of a C player.
- zeusk 5y agoSays a lot that his other company Amazon is using ULA/Boeing for Kuiper satellites to compete with spacex.
