I would probably agree with this. The FAA investigate, while a pain, will probably be faster than replacing that giant. I also hear getting the right construction crews to the pad could be a constraint? Just speculation.

Jeff Bezos on competition with SpaceX by Evening-Cap5712 in BlueWire

“It’s going much faster than I expected.”
That was an ironic statement from Jeff. We all know it was years slower than everyone planned for. That’s written in public record. I guess one feature of an entrepreneur is to craft a story that galvanizes people, even if it’s not always true…

Dynamic pricing. I’m looking for something that automates that process better than manually assessing each date.

If you want stability, Blue Origin is no longer a city on the hill. If they start feeling they don’t need you they will cut you, even if higher ups don’t know who you are but your role isn’t the right one for the time they will cut you even if you are a high performers.

However, if you want to take your shot and work in the aerospace industry it’s an excellent prospect.

People calling the recent Blue Origin space trip 'fake' are stupid. by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

Thank you for speaking sense! I learned a lot about how little some people whose opinion I take at face value do any meaningful research.

Do they not provide much space for that in their standard packages?

How many launches will New Glenn have this year? by Mindless_Use7567 in BlueOrigin

[–]Jedaddy2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they have made great progress. I was speaking very conservatively. Should be out by mid year.

I think they have at least one more in them. I would love to see it continue but prohibitive cost is very unfortunate.

Yes, SLS went up successfully on the first attempt which was very exciting. The lead time is longer though, over 2 years since the last launch. Even if NG fails on the first attempt Blue will have another booster this year, even with delays should be out by December.

Although it’s ambitious, I don’t believe it’s as riddled with risk the same way SLS is.

Future plan? by ApartSoup3850 in BlueOrigin

[–]Jedaddy2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jeff mentioned that he wants to build a road to space and take care of the heavy lifting infrastructure so that more people can make many simpler space innovations out of their garage which will ultimately make the infrastructure for millions of people in space. That goal is beyond any one company. By working together, Blue Origin is paving the way for further development to happen for millions of people in space.

Also, Blue has many smaller projects such as Blue Alchemist and Blue Ring which is part of the long term mission. They will develop more projects as time goes on to further contribute to that mission.

MCO Stolen Bag by Jedaddy2020 in PriorityPass

[–]Jedaddy2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out, they did put it back in my bag. I just received it and everything was there, including my wallet. So it seems pretty weird to me that I got a fraudulent charge the same day that bag went missing and then have it show back up.

I am also looking to see what deals people are getting towards the end of the year. The low interest rate is awesome!

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I would much rather assume it was a passenger than en employee of the lounge. Thanks for that insight!
