    The billionaire founders of Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic will both be on board as the companies send their vessels to the edge of space. But their spacecraft, flight logistics and altitudes have some differences. Photo illustration: Laura Kammermann

    The key difference is actually in the landing. Virgin Galactic will land smoothly like an airplane. Blue Origin will eject all passengers to land just on time at their own doorsteps. Their families will instantly receive a notification indicating "delivered".

      @Travel Crawl Alot of it has to do with personal preference and poltics. Mr Brandson has a "niche" industry compared to Mr Bezos which sells almost every material thing humanly possible (I am sure including Mr Branson's phones or at least the phone cases for them :D). Mr Bezos also has a boarder vision for Human Civilization than just Commericalized Space Flight. Mr Brandson's will leave his industry at that and will pocket probably more money than Mr Bezos due to preference but this will end up bad for the big spender in the long run and we will eventually soon find out why. This is basically a Tesla and Edison remake of history except that Tesla will also have "The Big Purse" as well as the Brains to create new Industries for mankind to toil upon.

But based on the information that we've been given about him bezos is a Master avoiding pain taxes, inspections and knows how to avoid government oversight. So there were legitimate reasons to go after him? Interesting.

    I find the petty squabbling about "where space begins" hilarious. Because while they jockey for "astronaut" bragging rights, lots of people (myself included) are of the opinion that none of them are (or will be) astronauts of any kind. Why? For the same reason people who ride in planes don't magically become pilots or aviators. People who ride in ships don't magically become captains or sailors. People who ride tourist spacecraft to the edge of space don't magically become astronauts. These people are all PASSENGERS. There's nothing wrong with being passengers, or tourists, but let's call things what they are. There are lots of terms we can use: space flyers, space tourists, spaceflight participants. Use any of them, but not astronaut, which means something specific.
    "Astronaut" is a profession and a vocation, not a travel destination. It's about years of training, discipline, commitment, mission responsibilities, etc. The term astronaut has 60 years of respect and admiration associated with it, which has been EARNED. Let's not dilute and cheapen it just so a handful of people can feel special. Real astronauts are already astronauts even if they haven't yet been to space. Passengers & tourists are not astronauts even if they have.
