most of BO's early years were as a think tank. They only started doing serious engineering in the late 2000s, and their factory is barely up and running too. Still, the push to 2021 at the earliest for NG's first flight is worrying

SpaceX received more money from NASA in a single award in 2008 than all of Blue's funding from 2000 to 2014.

Personal attacks, nice. At least Bezos doesn't insult journalists, create a publicity stunt out of a crisis, and call random people pedos on twitter.

because muskrats have been crying about everyone else doing this for the past ten straight years, and it's hilarious to watch them eat crow now. I never said it was a bad thing either, in fact, it was the fully expected and inevitable outcome for them after not going bankrupt.

yes, and all three of your supposed criticisms are unfounded.
It's not like any of this is related to spaceflight in the slightest.

Although someone keeps bringing it up. The anti-musk crowd is responsible for a good 99% of the derailing in these threads. It's ridiculous. Just stop, you'll have a more receptive crowd in other places.

It will be interesting to see how far down the rabbit hole goes with regards to Saudi/Trump involvement in all of this. The drama is far more interesting than Elon's was last year, where he came across as a retard (Tesla shares) or a petulant child (cave rescue debacle). It was pretty funny to see him get BTFO by the based Thai divers

The New Glenn is a rocket that can capture the whole market (more capable than both Delta 4 Heavy, Falcon Heavy and Ariane 5 while cheaper than the Falcon 9) and unlike the Falcon, might actually have a cheaply reusable booster. Don't shit on Blue, New Glenn is going to hit the launch market hard.

New Glenn offers dual launches. So if they can keep the manufacturing cost below 100 million the expendable New Glenn can compete with the reusable Falcon 9. If they don't, their reusable variant definetely will.

It doesn't matter about the first-stage when it also has a massive expendable hydrogen second-stage. New Glenn will never be cheap compared to Falcon 9 because of this, unless Blue wants to be permanently in the red.

Quoted By:

>>10380553
The second stage is about twice the size of the New Shepard, which costs around 10 million to produce. So assuming their second stage cost is ~20 million, that would be around double of the Falcon 9 second stage cost, e.g. they are at a disadvantage of 10 million there. They can easily cover that by offering dual launches and having a cheap reusable first stage.

BO is really different from SpaceX in the sense that Bezos isnt involved much, he is only the money. The people that create the strategy at BO are people who are industry veterans while at the same time not satisfied with how the industry works. A lot of people who worked at the actually first rocket than landed vertically (Delta Clipper) ended up at Blue. So the strategy at Blue is to drop one rocket that can capture the whole market, so the number of launches will be maximized, which will lower the cost even more.
