Blue Origin to miss engine delivery date to ULA, pushing back key rocket debut
- hourislate 5y agoEvery time I hear Blue Origin I start laughing. What a great joke. Can you imagine NASA having to rely on Bozo for a lunar lander? Never going to happen....
- verdverm 5y agoThis perspective is only available because of SpaceX who showed that something different from the status quo is possible. BO is probably better than most of the incumbents I suspect.
- samstave 5y agoI wonder if they hadn't used the last one for Cowboy Jeff to thank all the plebs for paying for his joy ride, they would have had their engine?
- wmf 5y agoTo be clear, the New Shepard tourist rocket does not use the delayed BE-4 engine.
- samstave 5y agoI find the name "New Shepard" super ironic... as if he ius the second coming to warden his flock into the folds of the oligarchitect's fenced 'garden' of consumerism.
- wmf 5y agoIt's named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Shepard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Shepard Note that shepherd is spelled differently. It's pretty clear that you're only seeing your own biases here.
- samstave 5y agoI know... I was just being fascetious - as he was just so unaware of how cringy he came across..
