What company will NASA choose for its trip back to the moon? P.S. Check out great space documentaries from my sponsor CuriosityStream for just $14.99/year: curiositystream.com/newsthink with my promo code: newsthink
nice, a sponsor
im surprised that at the rate blue origin is moving forward then we could see them have a successful manned mission to the space station by 2030 or more
I think spaceX will be choose by nasa for its trip back to the moon.
@Maryo_Nicle7 I wish that your hope will became reality one day.👍👍
Regardless of who NASA chooses, competition is ALWAYS better. Look at how complacent Boeing and ULA were before SpaceX came in.
Bezos: We have plenty of time.
Elon: We are running out of time!
That's the difference.
What happened to time is money Jeff?
Its actually the other way around but that dosent fit the agenda i guess
@@dns98rider no, it is definitely not "the other way around"
it literally takes seconds to Google elon musk and see how he is constantly saying that they have to grow faster (exponentially) if they want to build the martian colony
stop spreading bull crap
@@ivantimofeev2233 The original comment is saying that bezos thinks "We have plenty of time". But when you see his interviews about space and blue origin he always talks about how we are running out of time to save earth and need to move to space.
I am not spreading bull crap, people like you are the ones that worship Elon musk and hate anyone who opposes him.
@@dns98rider you're acting like people are blindly following him, lol. Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe people idolize him because he's a down to earth (or mars) guy, made the first reusable rocket, owns the largest electric car company, among many, many other things? It's not like other people don't get idolized either. You're the one that's blindly hating.
Many people hate Bezos saying he's copying Elon, but I'm all for more private space companies. More companies = more competition, more innovation and more chances of success if one company fails.
They could end up buying starship flights to build their space station instead of trying to compete. Would only accelerate Bezos plans...
It's what I keep saying. You don't have to like Bezos, you don't have to hope for his company to "win". Just understand that competition is never, ever a bad thing.
Bezos is bring Amazon business to the space industry. Did you see how Amazon doing to other related business? Amazon will sell a product at red for years and years until most of the competitors die out. More innovation? yup for Amazon while other innovation will be dead. Is this what you want for a future of Space business? Most people see this and that's why Bezos isn't popular like Elon musk.
@@mukamuka0 that is how competition works, if the competitor cant keep up they loose the game. spaceX isnt going to loose easily though and it would take decades of selling in the red to start to give spaceX the crunch
@@coreytaylor447 Not really and it's illegal too. It's called "Dumping" when company sell the product at lose to beat competitors but Amazon lobbied politicians so no one would bring this up. It's never get scrutiny until now in Anti-trust lawsuit but they'll get out un-scratch. That's how lobby works.
Jeff Bezos is the Justin Hammer of the space industry.
😂🤣
He's even got the ex-wife 🤣
He looks so much like Lex Luthor it's not even funny XD
My pscho ex wife tried framing me for 4 murders in 2018.
Omg actually a pretty good comparison
There's a big difference between a businessman and an engineer.
Yep, Elon is definitely a businessman, look how aggressively he works the markets. And how many brilliant engineers he employs.
@@egioch i dont know if you are serious...? Elon is the chief engineer of spaceX
@@egioch Elon is an engineer, the businesses are just a bonus.
@@egioch did you know that Elon is the Chief Engineer of SpaceX?
@@izzmedudee3054 You realize that as Chief Engineer, Elon just makes final decisions that are advised to him by the actual engineers. He's not actually innovating with the real engineers.
Elon didn't even know where to start in order to build a rocket. He went to Russia to attempt to buy ICBM's. Russia turned him away. Afterwards Elon was introduced to Tom Mueller, the real genius by the Falcon. Elon financed, and Muller innovated.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Mueller
"In late 2001, Mueller began developing a liquid-fueled rocket engine in his garage and later moved his project to a friend's warehouse in 2002.[2] His design was the largest amateur liquid-fuel rocket engine, weighing 80 lb (36 kg) and producing 13,000 lbf (58 kN) of thrust.[2] His work caught the attention of Elon Musk, PayPal co-founder and CEO of Tesla Inc., and in 2002 Mueller joined Musk as a founding employee of SpaceX.[3]
As Vice President of Propulsion Engineering and subsequently CTO of Propulsion at SpaceX, Mueller led the team that developed the Merlin 1A and Kestrel engines for the Falcon 1, the first liquid fueled orbital rocket launched by a private company; the Merlin 1C, Merlin 1D and MVac engines for the early iterations of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle; as well as the Draco thrusters that provide the attitude control thrusters for the Dragon spacecraft, as well as the SuperDraco storable-propellant engines used to power the capsule launch escape system."

Seriously, Elon is a salesman. A great one. And he's amazing at putting teams together and managing them. But he is not the big engineer/innovator that his fanatics (fanatics, not fans, as I consider myself a fan) make him out to be.
Jeff's vision: To be the first trillionaire.
Elon's vision: To be first in colonizing Mars.
elon will be first trillionaire and first in colonizing mars
That's why he will be so much richer than Bezos. Cause he is driven with value, not money.
To be honest, it's probably more realistic to become a trillionaire than it is to colonize Mars.
@Julio Von Chillio This is a fine aspiration, Julio. I share it. HOWEVER, Musk isn't motivated through altruistic humanitarianism. He's an entrepreneur and he wants to be rich. To fund any sort of Mars exploration/colonization scheme, he has to sell a lot of Teslas along with all of the other things he is hawking. None of them, including Tesla is a runaway success, yet. But, even if they are it is unfeasible to philanthropically support space colonization. The figures just don't add up. It is more likely that Musk is using this pie in the sky narrative to persuade his worshippers to buy more Teslas. Unlike Musk, Bezos has many well-established businesses and the personal wealth needed to sustain a developmental space exploration program. Incremental steps and tortoise-like focus is more likely to achieve results, when it comes to space exploration. Not hero-worship, hype, and Musk's cynical public relations efforts.
The greatest difference between the two
the turtle and the hare comparison works here. but the turtle (blue origin) is in a coma. and the hare's getting fed caffeine.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
The turtle thinks the hare is gonna take a nap so the turtle took a nap
@Brad Smith well, that happens occasionally. The turtle thinks the hare won't get up next time that happens. As long as the turtle doesn't start walking, it can't fall.
Haha 😂, caffeine and cocaine
Bezos: "the next generation"
Musk: "I wanna die on Mars"
That's the difference right there.
You left out the most important part of Musk's quote: "I wanna die on Mars, just not on impact"
To be fair, what Bezos envisions is far beyond what could wver be achieved in his lifetime. Stations as he describes are economically impossible without first massive industrialization of space. For that we need rockets that can be produced rapidly, affordably, and be reused a LOT. We will need to mine the moon and eventually the asteroid belt for materials and water. We'll need to build numerous stations and craft in space that will allow for significant workforces to live and work long term in those environments. Colonizing Mars is actually far more straightforward than colonizing space. Both are theoretically possible, but the advancements needed for space colonization are as massive as the potential benefits of such.
I'm sure Bezos would love to visit a small space colony or Mars colony before he dies, but his long term vision is beyond what he can live to see and he knows that.
@@Nuvendil i think his mission is more important than going to mars because elon wants to die there. his mission to extract materials from the materials we have in our solar system is much more of a type 1 civilization and help us to continue to live and help with our energy problem we have.
@@JohnDoe-vf3qo Going to Mars requires building up a lot of infrastructure, both in orbit, but also on the moon as a test. Jeff Bezos is talking, Elon Musk is _doing_ .
@@GoranXII they both doing. just one is more secretive than the other.
Musk is an Engineer, Bezos is into money. One learns from their failures, the other can't risk losing their reputation.
Bezos is also an engineer
Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison of our time 😊
@Barry Soetoro Musk has degrees in Physics and Economics. Bezos has degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
@@gracialonignasiver6302 a degree doesnt show how skillful you are. its the things that you do
THEGODFATHER lol he’s the chef engineer of his rockets, he learned how to build his rocket by books, talks to smart people and he freaking landed his rocket which was the first reusable rocket
0:48 'Look at that stability'
Me: Laughs in SpaceX
hahahaha yoo
Sn9 is boi that likes to fall. Literally.
😁
Stability on a suborbital rocket is easy you have as much time and fuel as you want to bring it straight on the pad compared to orbital which you have to optimize every drop of fuel and every piece of rocket. Let's see what they'll do with new glen. I hope It won't be useless when starship comes out. Starship may even compete with electron It's gonna be hard for others😬 even for their own falcon 9😂
@@morteza1024 How would it compete with electron? I mean, Electron would probably be a bit cheaper, but you can barely take anything into orbit with it. like, the dollar per kilogram won't get ANY better than with Starship. I doubt there will ever be a system which can compete with that tbh
Bezos can take all the time he wants, but as people said, time is gold. you don't know when is your last day on earth. Elon understands this very well.
having been in a helicopter crash, i'm sure Elon understands how precious time is.
Nonsense, so you're going to mars too!? Wtf!
@@thebeardedseeker5633 You mean Bezos?
Time is not revasable use time wisley which bezos dosent do
time is gold but with space exploration you have to complete things at the right times. rushing to mars will not help us especially if we haven’t figured out the problems we have now.
This channel puts out videos with exceptional quality and the work definitely shows. Keep it up Cindy!
Hey Will, so happy to get the positive feedback. Thanks for watching :)
This is like knowing u have homework due but u know ur gonna do it the day before its due
Basically me right now!
😂😂😂😂 badass analogy! 🏌️♀️🏌️♀️🏌️♀️👊👊👊
Yes except it's a thesis and it won't work and fail. Blue origin is not moving slowly, they're not moving.
Yes, except when that due date is infinite; in other words, you don't have a due date. You simply bribe your teacher with 'I have plenty of time' and 'i have money, here it is' reasons.
I DO IT THE SAME DAY IN THE MORNING
Blue Origin: Yeah I got time
Spacex: GOTTA GO FAST
Bezos : Afraid of failure
Elon : Learns from failure
Space tourists: afraid of failure
Lifeless Satellites: don't care
Short answer: Jeff Bezos isn't Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos doesn't have a Tom Mueller.
I once waited 5 days for my Amazon order, so it totally makes sense that Blue Origin would be late
lmaoooo
Technology moves as fast as I go to the store for beer.
yo
"Step by Step, Ferociously" sounds more like SpaceX than Blue Origin, especially looking at how SpaceX worked their asses out to make Falcon 9 the robust system that it is and how Starship prototypes evolved over the years.
Jeff who?
Jeff Mama! 😏
Beelzebub
Elon who??
@@shymalipaik4001 Elon Bezos??
They are not moving slowly, they actually don't have guys like Elon Musk. 🤘
No, they are moving really really slowly lol, SLS is crazy slow and its beating anything orbital from Blue by a long shot.
They’re not moving at all 😂
@Henry Reina Mancia but Elon musks spaceX take the biggest risks in the world like they nealy went bankrupt but they took the risk this is reality whie blue origin is too slow
@Henry Reina Mancia and u cant run a buissnes without taking risks
@Henry Reina Mancia its not making fun thingy u dont know anything and think about this that we are telling reality they are too slow its reality not making fun thing
The age long concept of a businessman (bezos) vs. an engineer (musk)

@Smruti Smarak Amazon is an economic wonder and complete flip on how we do business, is it technologically innovating however? No not really unless you count their efforts towards robotics and AI for efficiency. Other than that they basically just improved upon an already existing system that was in need of revamp
Blue moon or blue balls 😂

@@DwayneTheClock ikr the new shepherd is oddly shaped
Blue Origin and SpaceX don’t even have the same target.
That's true. I think both of them are visionary and are very important for humanity's future. The other one is finding a way to colonize a planet and the other one is finding a way to create a manmade planet in space. Both are very great and awesome.
I get a feeling Bezos space station is like a vacation in the Bahamas, just a way to make money. I think it should be a intermediary, somewhere that can produce it's own supply of food and water that is closer to orbit with Mars that can help keep the Earth and Mars closely together at least in distance until the next range of flights.
@@whoisheiforgothisname2103 O'Neill cylinders will be where 99% of humanity live in about 500 years.
Bezos isn't going to space to make money, he's on video at his graduation speech and others speeches when he was young that he wanted to become a billionaire so he can make a space company and go to space.
It's the story of the tortoise and the hare... except the hare isn't sleeping.
The richest and the second richest men.
I think they have both an strong financial background xD
Another absolutely amazing video! You’re honestly on if my favourite new channels now!
Great video as always exactly that what I'm interested in Keep up the good work🙏💯
Ohh so that's curiosity streams I have always heard about it but never really understand how it worked or costed,so much better like this, and great video as always
SpaceX and Blue Origin can be described rather well with "The Tortoise and the Hare", SpaceX being the Hare and Blue Origin the Tortoise. Only difference is that instead of stopping to sleep, SpaceX keeps running, even past the finish line
Great video as Always Cindy
Thanks Colly!
Such great videos with amazing quality. I know your channel is going to grow keep it up. And don’t forget to post it on sites like rumble or other alt video sites
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! You're getting sponsered
They are not moving slowly, they are just not moving in a electric speed like SpaceX
@Barry Soetoro yeah!
@Barry Soetoro THIS! Blue origin will inevitably fail.
Great video as always
Bazos:believes in the turtoise and hare story and think he will beat SpaceX
Elon Musk: Don’t sleeps, always working.
Bazos: YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT !
the comparison only works if the Hare is lazy and arrogant, and takes breaks. Elon isn't slowing down to wait for the tortoise.
While BO takes its time to crawl. Space X is not stopping, never rest, and slowly morphing into a kangaroo.
Bezos know Elon will colonize mars so he is preparing to send packages to moon
"All of his best decisions"
I didnt know he had best decisions..
overall, he is rich and if he fails, he is going to live luxurious life without caring about the whole world, right?
He was once the richest man on earth, im sure he made a few.
Congrats on a really good video,
A really small correction would be the picture of starship on the moon, that's the old design, the new one is the white one with the auxiliary engines
EXCELLENT video. Thank you!
For humanities sake, I wish nothing but the best for both of these companies.
Can't expect much when you pay your employees minimum wage. Quite the humanitarian that Bezoes
Bezos wants to build space condos. Musk wants to explore space.
And, the point is?? (Frankly, space condos sound more profitable.)
@@shyamdevadas6099 Frankly, You don't deserve to be explained what the point is.
@@alexissercho Ahhh...that's the ready answer from people who have no answer. The problem with people like you is that you never bother to learn the fundamentals of the things you readily accept. In this case, I refer to business and investing. There is a reason why the most successful investor of all time - Warren Buffett never invested in most high-tech and the early Internet. Like Musk's ventures, they are experimental and have no developed market. Space exploration is a dream and will remain so for a very long time. The type of space tourism and orbital colonization that Branson and Bezos are pursuing is more attainable and more immediately profitable. You see...its one thing for you to worship Elon Musk, but its another thing for him to make enough money from his businesses to support his dreams of space. His stock valuation is based on hype. None of his businesses have been sustainably profitable over the long term. Both Branson and Bezos don't have this problem. NOW...whose stock would you buy?
@@shyamdevadas6099 Exactly, that's the point. You can't buy talent.
@@alexissercho Nice try, sonny. But, you again demonstrate no knowledge of the real issue. Namely, that of being profitable and making money. Can't buy talent? Do you think that the people who work for Branson, Bezos, and Musk work for free? Do you think that any of them have to pay less for their talent? Do you think that any of them buy untalented people and develop them? Also, do you think that they don't all buy up other companies to fill the holes in their organizations?? (I suggest you do a Google search to find the companies that all of them have bought.) You need to stop looking for someone to worship and study the hard facts of business, my friend.
This channel is so awesome.
One is making history and the other just uses it
Bezos thinks that its like the story of the rabbit and tortoise but in realty its one tortoise vs a lot of rabbits so the rabbits don't sleep.
One guys dream is to travel in to space (experience 0 gravity).
The other guys dream is for humanity to be a multiplanet species...
That's the difference!
Love everything about this video! At 2:59 that's awesome that you put in Crew-1 with the NASA themed Model X's. Musk easter egg: The license plates read "L8RERTH" meaning "Later Earth." Also, Blue Origin received the $500 million dollar contract back in 2018 and it was supposed to last 6 years. Then of course like you said, SpaceX and ULA won National Security contracts for the Air Force, which lead to the termination of the contract (Air Force was satisfied with 2 companies providing service). Although despite the loss of the National Security sector, wouldn't you say it's not a bad thing as Blue Origin can still fund the development of New Glenn and New Shepard for the soon to come commercial space era we are entering? Both Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic will be a great story come 2030, 2040, and beyond....cheers to the world of innovation! Thank you for great coverage☄️
Love the video, as usual. Time is money, and every time I click on any of your videos I know I will get my money's worth. You are so talented and skilled. Today I noticed that I didn't notice the advertisement. It went down so smooth. I didn't feel like I was being accosted. I enjoyed watching that until the end and it was then that I realized it was a commercial/advertisement. THANK YOU!
Can't beleive such a great quality videos at this stage
This channel should have more than million subscribers ❤️❤️
"Make mistakes and learn"
"Time is more important than money"
Lessons learnt but never used - Jeff Bezos
Blue origin is the best example of what not to do
Space X will be on mars 10 years before blue origin has a working model. Lol
makes me laugh a video about blue origin the keep talking about space x when you see a video about space x rarely do you hear mention blue origin
Because they're both roughly the same, but SpaceX delivers.
preach
it’s because they have no information on what it’s being worked on while the other is open about what it is doing so the article has so little information they can only talk about it’s competition
Blue Origin is good at animation
SpaceX is good at reality
Another great vid. Thanks.
Who's here after SpaceX's successful Starship SN8 test flight?
For the doubters: that test was considered successful because SpaceX only needed to collect as much flight data as possible, they didn't care if SN8 had a rapid unscheduled disassembly, which is also why SN9 and 10 are standing by.
So basically, Bezos is the mop-up crew for space entrepeneurs; they are the slowest, but will get it done. Everyone else who wants a piece will have to be faster.
Jeff in 2020: *still hasn't gotten into orbit*
Elon in 2018: "Hahaha, my car in space go brrr"
Well that was genious transition to promo curiosity.
BO: Make it 100% perfect
SX: Fail faster
BO: Throw more money at it
SX: We need more experts
BO: We'll get someone really smart to manage everything
SX: When is Elon Musk going to go home already? And why is he sleeping on the launch pad?
BO: Jeff Bezos has unlimited money
SX: (final boss music starts playing)
I dont care how a company is doing ...more space companies ,more inspiration ,more competition, the faster we achieve space travel .so support everyone guys, everyone is trying to make the 'universe ' a better place to live 👍👍😊
And... Wasting a lot of money
Unless the companies that never deliver suck up the limited funds from investors and space agencies.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK need some brain cells???
It's not "slower"
It's "Static" compared😖

the difference in mindsets of businessman vs engineer shown in these companies are genuinely interesting to see

Great Video!
If there’s one thing games have taught me. The longer you wait for something to unlock the better it is
Having said that, space x has out grown the race. They’re far beyond blue origin with information as a failed mission teaches you just as much as a successful one
Hey! You’re still in London!
Great video on the differences.
And while Jeff says the logo for Blue Origin is a feather, it looks a bit phallic.
Not good.
They're going from a testing platform with New Shephard to New Glenn which sits between Falcon Heavy and Starship. And they are doing that without doing what Space X did by creating falcon 9 and attaching 2 more falcon 9s to create the Falcon Heavy. If Blue Origin wanted im sure they could have attached 3 BE-4 engines to a fuel tank and called it New Glenn, then create some boosters to create New Glenn Heavy, but they skipped all of that and went directly to creating a single stage 1 booster
Still they never went to orbit

Come on, Blue Origin! Make orbital flight!
The difference I see is between a space company run by a business major who wants to be respected by the hard science and engineering guys that looked down on him when they were students and a space business run by an engineer who wants to mass produce whatever he produces.
Fabulous comparison. I learned a lot.
Cool. I think sir Jeff is moving too slowly, instead of a tortoise vs. the hare, it's a snail:D
And that's the difference between a delivery boy and an actual rocket scientist.
Because one man has space in his mind and the other is just a showman.
Space X is out for results; Blue Origen is out for profits, huh?
Bezos leaves work to take vacation; Elon thinks work is his vacation.
Also, Elon Would throw his ENTIRE wealth AGAIN into his company if he needed to.
It’s going to be funny watching other rockets launch after Starship’s is ready
@Barry Soetoro I love that analogy but it’s going to be even worse than that🤣
Awww Look at the wittle whocket. Is that a feather on the side or hello kitty? I cant tell it's so small.
i love your channel
It's clear to me that SpaceX will only gain further dominance as time goes on, but I am over the moon that multiple private space companies have viable long-term paths forward.
amazing content
step by step ferociously... in the wrong direction. Rocket Labs founded 4 years later than Blue Origin with a lot less funding achieved orbit in 2018 and has some 20 successful missions now.
In Tim Dodds tour of the Starbase, we can see the contrast. Even construction workers are being told that "what if there is an asteroid hurtling towards earth right now". Top to bottom of the company knows exactly what they are working on.
I have looked at a lot of videos about colonizing the moon & Mars. And I haven't found any with my same ideas. I think we should set up a moon colony on earth. We should have inflatable domes, which we cover with 3D printers with simulated moon mortar. The domes should be connected to each other by inflatable tunnels covered with simulated moon mortar. There should be living quarters, hydroponic green houses, gardens with garden soil for recreational gardening, a 5 acre pasture with one inch of garden soil and one inch of grass turf, a park with artificial turf and with small sections of real grass turf, and maybe even a very small zoo. All the domes will have plastic floors so no water is lost. Condensation forming on the ceilings will be drained into the water supply. All the domes will be blown up with compressed air from earth and will have a refresh system, which will refresh the air and maintain the air pressure. Humidity, Temperature will be maintained by humidifiers, heaters, fans and coolers. Light will be provided by multi-color LEDs, mostly white. Power will be supplied at first by solar power, and later by nuclear or fusion power. All water will be re-cycled, almost zero loss of water. There will be a bull, a cow, two sheep, and two goats, two chickens, two turkeys, two fish, and two rabbits. There will also be pets, two dogs, two cats, two bunnies, etc. (and maybe a small zoo) All of this will be set up by astronauts and robots before the colonist arrive.
The first colonist will be 5 fathers and 5 mothers, and 90 babies. The parents will be good parents, gardeners, farmers, zoo keepers, teachers, etc.. During the first two years an exact duplicate facility will be built on the moon. When the babies are two years old, they will move to the moon and live on the moon. Or if it is proven that they will be too young to travel to the moon than the facility on earth will be added to, to accommodate 10 more parents and 90 more babies. The two year olds would move into the new addition. Every two years the facility will be either added to, or 100 people will move to the moon. This plan will allow the kids to grow up in the isolation of the colony, and will make it easier for them to live in the isolation of the colony on the moon. And will allow them to grow up on the moon and be better able to adjust to the lower gravity on the moon, although some artificial gravity maybe eventually provided. This artificial gravity will especially be good for the parents. The kids will have everything in the facility to keep them occupied and entertained. Also they could have some books, movies, games, etc., especially adapted for them, being careful not to give them anything that would make them feel isolated.
After 20 years there could be 2000 people living on the moon, most of whom grew up on the moon. This program could be speeded up so in 20 years there could be 4000, 6000, or 8000 people living on the moon.
This program could be simultaneously done to colonize Mars so we could have 2000 people on the Moon and Mars at the same time. For the moon we could send supplies every month, but for Mars we could only send supplies every 26 months. So I suggest we send 10, 20, or 30 rockets to Mars every 26 months all at the same time.
We could have several refueling stations along the way to mars and orbiting mars so rockets could refuel along the way to mars and right before landing on mars so the empty rocket would have enough fuel to take off again, refuel in space and return to Earth. Eventually the colonist could grow trees, bamboo, and other plants for raw materials that could be used for making things. Eventually the moon and Mars could export minerals or small expensive items that were assembled on the moon or Mars, like jewelry, iphones, iwatches, etc. Or grown on the moon like caviar, marijuana, etc.
What do you think ? :-)
1:34 "we are number one" plays on the background
The video is awesome 👌🙌
We need to encourage healthy competition among companies that are pursuing similar goals. In 10 - 30 years, we might see the real difference between SpaceX & Blue Origin. I appreciate them both. I also appreciate the vision of Blue Origin: preserving the Earth - the best planet in the solar system for humans - by expanding into space. Thank you for sharing.
It be awesome to live in a halo ring. Just waiting for the armor to get released!
Blue Origin did get _a_ win out of that contest, the Vulcan is powered by Blue Origin's engine, the BE4
People shouldn't compare Jeff and Elon, they have two completely different visions. Elon wants to go to Mars to build a colony, whereas Jeff wants to build a manufacturing plant in space to gather all the resources in the solar system. I think both are good, one should focus on building a human colony on Mars, and the other should focus on gathering the resources to fuel growth on Earth and on Mars. The two should be working together, not against one another.
Being thoughtful and careful is prudent. The obvious problem with Blue Origin is that being thoughtful and careful merely for the sake of being thoughtful and careful is silly.
