Blue Origin management has been talking some crazy shit about building and launching as many as 12 launches this year and 25 rockets in 2026. That's not something they said years ago, they said this a few months ago. There's no conceivably way they manage it but they're saying it anyway, which means Bezos must be supplying them with some good cocaine.

- lupusreal 2y agoHaving to do it according to the terms of their license doesn't make it a realistic goal. Three or four launches by 2026 would be more in line with the traditional pace of new launchers (and this doesn't account for Blue Origin's uniquely slow pace.)
- signatoremo 2y agoGet your facts right. That’s Amazon, not Blue Origin. Amazon has booked flight with various launch providers, including SpaceX to meet their license’s requirement. It’s still a very aggressive schedule with little room for error.
