BlueOrigin's New Shepard can already reach realiably the Kármán line.
Why doesn`t he makes something useful with it?

Is not like he doesn`t have the money. Space X would have done a bigger version of New Shepard and tested it already.

Can't find the numbers but I'm sceptical about the new shepard booster being able to lift dream chaser to a usable altitude.

Why is Blue Origin so unsuccessful?

Because Dream Chaser looks better on top of Falcon 9

Fyi,
SNC has a press conference with a congressman and space force for a new concept pitch today.

Dream Chaser : 9 Tons

New shepart estimated payload: 3Tons

So, yes, they need to make a bigger rocket, but with the current features, it would make such a successful product.

What kind of success could a space plane on a few minutes long suborbital trajectory achieve that a capsule couldn't? A slightly different amusement ride?

Merely reaching the Karman line is easy compared to reaching orbit.

Maybe it wouldn't be behind the schedule, if they didn't have to start from the zero due to Boing stealing their CCV contract

Is just a little distance and there`s very little gravity.
An Ion thruster would do.

It's not a matter of distance, it's a matter of speed. The ISS is moving sideways at 27,600 km/h (17,100 mph) If you want to get into orbit next to the ISS, you have to match that speed. Going that fast requires a much larger rocket.

Launch it earlier, so trajectories intersect.

Then what, a 27,000 mph collision between the two? What's your objective here, getting vaporized?

Bezos is a seller of cheap chinese crap. He has no passion. He's never going to be in BO offices more than a day or two a month and at launches. Also he hires too many of SpaceX's rejects.

There are probably a lot of top tier engineers who get washed out of SpaceX by SpaceX's insane company culture and low pay. It would be foolish to write off the skill of an engineer just because he couldn't cope with working at SpaceX.

It cannot. Like not even close. It will be unable to achieve that by a margin that is probably inconceivable for you. It's a fun thought, though. I'm sure that if space flight keeps sparking your imagination that someday you will see why this idea was fun but impossible (like physically impossible, not "just hard").
