It's weird to see such a nice, clean rocket. :)
|
Less clean now. I feel better.
|
Whoa!! Amazing video of the landing.
|
Definitely the best landing video I've seen.
|
Separation video was wild too.

Mildly interesting news:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jeff Bezos was talking longingly about going into space more than five years ago. Next month, he will finally get his chance.<a href="https://t.co/XdTTYOji9n">https://t.co/XdTTYOji9n</a></p>— Eric Berger (@SciGuySpace) <a href="https://twitter.com/SciGuySpace/status/1401895245604917254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Despite my general lack of enthusiasm for Blue Origin's style, it's nice that they're finally going to fly humans, and having Bezos himself on board will generate plenty of discussion. Maybe someday they'll actually be relevant in the broader landscape of space exploration. |
lol @ the attempt to compare New Shepard to the Soyuz.
|
Good for Bezos. I wonder if the timing has anything to do with his resignation.
|
I hope they perfect these systems and get the price down so I can get into space before I die.

That landing looked a little iffy for a while...
|
I didn't catch it live, but aside from being a little off center, the landing looked OK to me. What am I missing?
The crowd reaction was a little odd, too. |
