At some point ... when Starships are launched and landed every hour, every day ... we may find ourselves not getting excited anymore about another bellyflop. We tend to get blasé. It happened to trains, automobiles, airplanes, to the Moon landings, and even to the Falcon 9 boosters landing back on Earth. So, let's enjoy this amazing phase. And also; there will always be new developments.

TubularAp is right.. but that's OK. Everyone should go out and actually see one live.

@@hawkdsl none of the other rockets using their engines have flown yet either

@@hawkdsl 13 test flights in the same timeframe as ~80 commercial flights from SpaceX and a whole lot of tests as well isn't exactly "launching the rockets" Also, which operational rocket uses Blue Origin motors? Neither the New Shepard, New Glenn, Vulcan, nor the National Team lander are operational at this stage, and of these, only the New Shepard has been flight tested -- in fact, it's been in testing for five years, in which time SpaceX has learned to land rockets, fly people to the ISS, built a rocket engine that far eclipses anything Blue Origin has ever made, flown that engine on a couple test flights, came up with their own alloy of rocket steel, and did more tests on that specific rocket than Blue did in the entire lifespan of New Shepard and New Glenn combined. But sure, Blue's launch every once in a blue moon is what they need to do... actually, that's true, it's just far from adequate yet.

Most of SpaceX rockets have blown up in situations where they weren't even meant to fly: static fires.

@@miltonmiller gotcha - me me me me me

yea, by time new glenn launches we will already have starship completed, while new glenn is closer to the falcon heavy

I think the problem is that they believe they are _not_ in competition with SpaceX, that they are plotting a completely different course to a completely different goal. The problem is that any goal they have can be hijacked. The Falcon system is pretty well set to better what Bezos' suborbital space tourism has planned by twice the altitude or more. Musk doesn't do this, simply because he doesn't seem interested.

I think they make space x look amateur .

​@@-danR it costs 50 million per seat for crew dragon, how they are well set to go into space tourism with that is beyond me, even if this means people spend more than a couple of minutes in zero gravity. If SpaceX wants to get into space tourism they'll need either starship or much cheaper falcon 9 flights. And at this moment we have no idea how much a New Glenn launch will cost. But space tourism isn't BO's goal, lunar operations and space stations in general are (with Bezos being a proponent of something like an o'neill cylinder rather than mars). SpaceX goal is mars, BO is lunar and spacestations. Ofcourse SpaceX might possibly end up in BO's waters, however they'll need the free capacity for that and their mars goal will probably require most if of their capacity for a long time. And again in the end we don't know what BO's capacities and costs will be by 2025 or the end of this decade. For all we know they'll get a lock on lunar activities due to for example their fuel choice, ... BO goes slowly, but I wouldn't underestimate them either in the long run. Eventually there will be a point that SpaceX can't "easily" improve things, if BO comes only a few years later, that might not matter if they are eventually just as good/better at what they need to do.

I heard it was open cycle?

@@zchris13 BE-3U is an open expander cycle engine and BE-7 is a closed dual expander cycle engine. From Blue Origin website: "BE-7 is an additively manufactured, high-performance, dual-expander cycle engine, generating 40 kN (10,000 lbf) thrust." Dual expander cycle increases mass in total but increases reliability with having seperate oxygen and hydrogen pumping systems. The turbine that drives the oxygen pumps are driven by the gaseous oxygen and the turbine that drives the hydrogen pump is driven by gaseous hydrogen. And this reduces the need for seals and other protective equipments for not having hydrogen and oxygen mixing in an unwanted place. Because oxygen flow is not near the gaseous hydrogen driven turbine at all unlike a open expander cycle engine. And reliability is an important thing for a lunar landing engine. I hope I could've helped :) (I am not a native speaker by the way, sorry if there is wrong grammar or spelling :/)

Fair enough, they haven't reached orbit

I wonder who is using more tax payer money.😆

Short term thinking is not always the best approach. You ARE seeing progress now, in your lifetime. Enjoy the journey Clark.

I mean I agree they are slow as fuck. But still at least spaceX will have an actual private competitor eventually.

Slow and steady wins the race.

@@tinchong7059 yeah fast and steady beats slow and steady. ;)

It would be nicer if anyone find a way how to use hydrogen more effective as it seems cleaner.

I wonder if that's what some of the folks in Blue Origin are hoping for. Maybe some kind of catastrophic explosion or sudden bankruptcy or shift in public (and investor) opinion. Because right now, SpaceX seems to have the speed of the hare and the implacability of the tortoise.

Seems more likely that the tortoise is just going to speed up eventually in this case.

And tortoise to even move

Once starlink is fully operational, spacex will have unlimited funding that's by far the most important difference.

There is no reason for SpaceX to slow down, ever. Wishful thinking on BOs part.

Lucky

Maybe because achieving orbit was not their top priority from the beginning?

EinzigfreierName so far it doesn’t seem like they have a priority to accomplish much of anything.

BO sucks, along with their founder

I agree with you. Except I really dislike the Blue Origin lunar lander. In my opinion dynetics and spacex should team up and have starship deliver the drop tanks to the moon for the dynetics lander.

Competition is good

@@user-wv1in4pz2wthe fairing of fh is too smol for dyntics lander

@@jackprom9127 Yeah, the lunar lander is very dangerous. You have to climb 20ft down to get to the lunar surface

Yeah, space tourism just isn’t as exciting for me compared to stuff like the commercial Falcon 9 launches. Some of these launches might actually have an impact on my quality of life, especially Starlink since I live in a rural area, whereas the space tourism thing is something I doubt I’ll ever see, and seems like it’ll be limited to the rich and powerful...

I know New Shepard is a perfect-proportions case (batteries not included), but what rocket is *not* phallic to some extent? Surely the original Thor IRBM is a runner-up...

@Hash Frowns, that would actually be a space station, wouldn't it?

@Hash Frowns, I didn't mean to be obscure, but the "space station" reference was about a penile rocket docking with something. Something "vulva-shaped". Nonetheless, there are some other ways to tie the two references together. Space stations go up, as you say, piece by piece and are assembled in orbit. Launch vehicles and spacecraft, on the other hand, start out fully assembled and gradually lose pieces. Eventually, they get to the point that all they have left to do is drop down to Earth. Kinda like older men . . . . By the way, I fit into that latter category, so it's as much about me as anyone else. If it applies to you and you're willing to own it, feel free.

@Hash Frownshey, no sweat, man! Rocket engineers -- the people with the HARD work -- do what they can to make things as simple as possible. That's kinda hard to do with rockets, but it certainly explains why rockets are shaped the way they are.

Plod by plod, ploddingly.

They just want to be SpaceX so hard their insecurity isn't even funny anymore. What's more gradiatim ferociter than blowing up a rocket, getting the next one on the launch pad as well, and blowing it up as well but in a different way to solve problems one by one? Blue Origin hasn't blown up nearly as many rockets as SpaceX, and that's exactly their problem. If you've blown up a rocket with no customer payload, and got the data on exactly how it blew up, that's not a problem, that's science. You can try to simulate things, but when you're pushing the very edge of technology to create something new you don't verify on the test stand, you test with the expectation of not succeeding on first try, but finding out how you fail. _That_ is what "gradiatim ferociter" should mean. Sitting at a computer all day and launching a test vehicle 14 times over the course of five years is not ferociter at all.

At the moment they are pretty Ferociter. I took SpaceX 5 years to develop and fly Falcon 9 after announcing it. New Glenn was announced in 2016 so a 2021 first flight would have been astounding. It'll probably get pushed to next year, but that is not really a surprise after last year.

@@PagsPayback Announcement is arbitrary, it's just when the company decides to publicly speak about the idea. Development time is what matters. Blue Origin has existed for two years longer than SpaceX, and in that time SpaceX has become the best place to go for launching stuff into space, while Blue Origin is not even an option.

@@DeeSnow97 Of course it is kinda arbitrary. BO worked on the NG before they announced it and SpaceX worked on the Falcon 9 before they announced it. But it is one of the best points of reference we have. The foundation of the company is not really a good reference for their pace in comparison. BO was more of a think tank with a tiny budget, experimenting with vertical takoff and landing for the first 10 years. Comparing early SpaceX and early BO really doesn't work, because their objectives were completely different. BO only became comparable to SpaceX in 2015/2016, when they finally received a budget that was able to pay for the development of serious workhorse. That's when their priorities changed. And from what we can see (development of new engines, building new factories and the presentation of the first parts of NG) there is no reason to believe that they are not working ferociously towards their first orbital launch. We obviously won't know until they announce a launch date (my guess: first half of 2022) how it is really going, but that's kinda the Problem if you are an outside observer.

Nah mate its the spacex landing and launch pads for the new starship superheavy vehicle

A madman in policebox.

And SpaceX's PR helps them in other ways by then making it easier to recruit more talent. Until very recently, I taught calculus and a bunch of other math classes to college students , many who were training to be engineers. By far the most common aerospace company that students wanted to work for was SpaceX, and some of them did actually go on to do so. My impression is that Blue Origin has made a concerted effort to recruit recently, so it may not be as extreme now. But SpaceX's active PR together with accomplishments has for a while now meant there are a lot of talented people who as their very first choice want to work for them. So SpaceX gets the first pick of the litter. The advantage from that probably is compounding. In contrast, until very recently (last 2 years) one couldn't even easily buy Blue Origin swag. Blue's lack of attention to PR has combined badly with their slow public pace.

True, blue origin is way more secretive, there no joke, I think this is a great video explaining the accomplishments of team blue

Not true for me. I just like SpaceX because they brought space travel back in the mainstream.

@@weirdofoxhoundalpha258 Yeah, there's definitely legitimate reasons to be really interested them aside from the PR. But the PR combines really effectively with those actual accomplishments.

@@weirdofoxhoundalpha258 true people are just saying SpaceX is better than blue origin, and that is definitely not the case

We use freedom units here! I find it frustrating too

Maybe they'll start using metric when they develop something that can achieve an orbit. So far they barely go any further than the Karman line.

@@tanks608 By freedom units you mean outdated and unnecessary units then youre right!

@@benistingray6097 It's a joke, bud. Tanks doesn't actually disagree with you.

I agree that for scientific purposes it should be reported in metric. But as someone living in the United States it is so simple to just learn and use both (metric is everywhere here, and taught in school). Does not take much effort to make yourself fluent in the "other language" so to speak.

There are fewer things that can go wrong with three redundant parachutes though. Also, the rockets firing just as the capsule touches down have the same effect as landing on huge airbags, just without the bags.

I think they'll be pretty quick to land New Glenn... they've had a lot of practice with the smaller rocket, and while that won't translate exactly to a new vehicle, it'll give them a good understanding of what's involved. We saw that with SpaceX, where SN8 would have made a perfect landing on the first attempt, had it not been for a fault... and despite the differences in the descent profile, that almost-success was built on a lot of experience with landing Falcon 9 boosters. However, I agree that we're not going to see this thing flying any time soon.

@@simongeard4824 New Glenn is a vastly different creature than the New Shepard, using much different engines and entirely different control systems. Could it land the first time safely? Possibly. Do I think it will? I doubt it. Remember, the BE-4 engine hasn't even flown yet. All they've got is test stand data. They don't even have a whole rocket yet in order to do test firings, and they only have a precious few engines that are all either test engines or scheduled to be used by ULA. Meanwhile, over at SpaceX, they have more Raptors that have flown than BE-4s that exist, they've continued to make improvements on the design based on experience, and are still looking to improve the design. They have built over 50 engines so far. Even so recently as October 2020 Blue Origin was having difficulty with the turbo-pumps on the BE-4. It's simply not ready for prime time yet.

@@tarmaque Most of which I agree with. I simply dispute that it will take them a long time to figure out landings. SpaceX have already demonstrated that they could get the Starship landing almost perfect on the first attempt, despite that vehicle being very different from anything they've landed before. That suggests that prior experience does have a lot of value, and Blue Origin do have a fair bit of experience at landing boosters. That said, while they have experience of launch and landing, they have none when it comes to orbital flight. New Shepard doesn't carry much speed on re-entry compared to a proper booster.
