If New Glenn ever launched people they’d build the escape system into the crew module, much as SpaceX does with Crew Dragon.

- ceejayoz 4mo agoMaybe; SpaceX isn't taking that approach for Starship thus far.
- hgoel 4mo agoSpaceX doesn't have the vehicle at a point that they can worry about the details of the crew compartment beyond concept renders and operations planning. As it stands they don't even have a plan for carrying large non-starlink payloads yet.
- NetMageSCW 4mo agoThat’s all pretty heavy assumptions considering all we have is public knowledge. Given that SpaceX already has some launch contracts that can be switched from Falcon to Starship I am sure they have plans and probably development for non-starlink payloads going on.
