Hey mate, just want to share a big thank you for all of the videos this year. Its really impressive how many videos you're able to produce whilst also maintaining enough engaging content. None of your videos are clickbait and very well spoken. Love your work mate! Keep it up.
I think it would be hilarious if Neutron reaches orbit before BO. I would imagine if that happens, Mr. Limp is probably going to be looking for a new job.
IMHO this is a media effort to create a more dramatic rivalry between billionaire funded private space start ups. Blue origin and SpaceX have very different development approaches, SpaceX has a riskier iterative style vs Blue Origins conservative traditional style. So a better comparison is BO vs legacy rocket manufacturers, and in that comparison they are no slouch, their timeline is very competitive compared to the development of ULA's Vulcan and NASA's SLS.
My thoughts exactly. BO never elected a fast prototyping development method, so it is not accurate to try to draw an apple-to-apple comparison. Where the comparison does stand, however is on their respective business models and target price for tonnage to orbit. Space X’s payload capabilities, launch frequency and rapid reusability is simply unmatched and New Glenn will have a hard time carving market slices for itself.
At the same time those old techniques are proving to be obsolete. Vulcan is entirely outdated, SLS is about to be canceled, and now New Glenn is already just about obsolete in the face of rockets such as Falcon Heavy, Starship, and upcoming rockets by Rocket Lab and Firefly.
I think this is a perfect comparison. It will showcase the superiority or inferiority of the "move fast and break things" approach of spacex compared to the "(very)slow and (not so)steady" approach of Blue Origin. They work in the same field and compete for the same contracts, while having similar goals. They are direct competitors and as such should be compared against one another. applying different rules makes little sense, when in the end it all comes down to $ per kg in orbit.
@@yanis905 It'll be tough for Blue Origin to gain some traction, but don't forget, SpaceX had to build the reputation they enjoy today.

they keep going gentle, they are not currently wiling to push it until the breaking point. Space X, pushes to the limit to know how much they can push them in the future.

Starship will fly before New Glenn. Blue Origin does not test like Space X and wants to make perfection before testing. Space X tests to see what might happen. Space X usually has other vehicles ready for testing. Is there only 1 New Glenn, or others (more then 1) in production or near complete? WHAT IS JEFFERY'S OUTLOOK? 50% chance for success? 100% chance? 5% chance? Just blow it up already so we can see future NG's succeed.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Any predictions been put out for a 100% success on first flight? Would be great and 2nd launch would prove reliability. Sincerely, Michael Walton.
It's one thing to have problems while at the production site. But to be so highly visible to public and media and screw up in clear sight must be so painful for Bezo et al. Their PR department must be running out of viable excuses.
Absolutely, messing up in front of the world is a whole different kind of pressure. Bezos and the team must be feeling it big time, especially with all eyes constantly comparing them to SpaceX. At some point, the PR spin starts to wear thin, and they’ll need results to speak for them.
I dont believe in this “build it once and expect everything to go right the first time”. Its like trying to run a marathon a week after learning to walk.
More like the guy who buys a stationary bike and a treadmill and trains for 5 years to get ready and run a marathon. There is another guy who just took off running one morning a year ago and runs a little farther each day now is running the same marathon. Both ended up running a marathon but only one spent $2000 on training equipment.

You do a good job with Space News Bulletin, just keep it real, otherwise people will start not clicking on your videos assuming the title is a click bait...
I hate to day it, but it's sounding like "Limp by name, Limp by nature" may be accurate. However, consider SpaceX's behavior when they are fielding a new rocket for the first time. WDR always (IMHO) precedes hotfire testing, so I'm a little surprised to hear you opine otherwise. While I'd like to poke fun at BO for how delayed their spacecraft is, and it definitely is much delayed, no question, I do think that for these first few steps of fielding a new rocket being very cautious and proceeding slowly is definitely warranted. We're spoiled by how easy SpaceX makes it look, but even with the recent Starship/Booster development, they did a LOT of WDRs, lots of spin prime tests, lots of stacking/unstacking before their first launch. [And, don't get me wrong, I'm a full on SpaceX fanboi -- never mistake anything I say about BO as being indicative of being in any way a fan of that freedom-of-the-press-killing Bozos or his kiddie-rides-to-"space"-for-wealthy-a-holes toy business]
Even if New Glenn launches soon, whether it is successful or not, what is the status of their next ship? Do they have another one almost ready to go, or will it be years before they fly another one?
Does it matter? What's the point of having another ship ready to go that is destined for failure? Eg like sending a burnt Banana into the ocean. Some organisations aim to achieve most of their goals first try. Not a dozen attempts at not achieving even the first goal on the Gantt chart.
@mervstash3692 personally it think testing to failure is a good thing, instead of being like NASA and ending up in a scenario where people die, I think SpaceX track record with falcon 9 proves this. Something that was said to be impossible is now a fact of daily life
Well we all want blue team to do well or bring in something new we expecting ramp but they just so dam slow i work with new manager has same issue. Doesnt take risks and money isnt a issue so why not take some risks..
Since it's BO's first flight of the NG it makes sense for BO to perform a New Glenn wet dress rehearsal before it's first Static Fire. If all goes well on the SF and post SF inspections are all good and any repairs made then NG is ready for Launch. I think the following is close to what SpaceX has been doing. SpaceX has recently revised their sequence. SpaceX performs at least a partial-cryo fueling at Massey's Test Site of all new Heavy Boosters & Starships. Starships also performs Static Fires at Massey's. Post SF inspections and as needed repairs are performed. SpaceX performs Heavy Booster Static Fires on the Orbital launch Mount (OLM) at Pad A usually with nearly a full LOX load and partial Liquid Methane load (enough total mass to help hold the booster down during SF). Post SF inspections and as needed repairs are performed. So after individual booster & Starship successful partial-cryo tests and SFs, SpaceX's sequence is to then fully stack both (Heavy booster & Starship) at the OLM and perform at least a partial-cryo test (fuel & LOX) and sometimes a separate spin prime test, too. It looks like if another Unstack occurs or an engine replacement is made at the OLM then at least a partial cryo test will be performed with maybe a spin prime when the full stack is again fully assembled at the OLM. After all checks out then SpaceX proceeds to launch. It makes sense that SpaceX does not perform a Static Fire with a full stack at the OLM since, it would be redundant given both the Heavy booster & Starship have had individual Static Fires and the Full Stack has had a partial-cryo or possibly a full cryo load test. Another benefit is to not subject the Starship heat tile system to an additional Static Fire vibration, shock, etc. since the Starship SF was performed at Massey's Test Site.
Blue Origin has build a huge factory here in Florida. I am assuming they haven’t spent all that money for nothing. I have to wonder. While they talk SpaceEx launches a rocket almost most every other day. If Blue Origin want to compete with SE they had better get off their asses and do something.
Good Morning, Kev. A holding pattern for Blue Origin is a good place for it. I remember when all BO was doing was test. Now they aren't even testing. Nothing like moving forward BO. Good job. I have zero confidence in the BE-4 engine. Tarnishing there reputation. There reputation is what again? Lawsuits and holding patterns. Slowing down SpaceX's progress or anyone else's. They can't get there together. Everyday is the same thing. That's there reputation. And that's just scratching the surface. Why are we even talking about them? It needs to go to the NASA junkyard along with Starliner. Go SpaceX. Have a Great Day, Kev.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Thank You for answering me back, Jeff. One thing I want to see! I want to see you succeed. I would love to see your machine shop.Thanks again.
It makes sense to do a wet dress rehearsal then inspections then a hot fire test then inspections. BO will likely learn from these tests. If they don’t do these nspections, then it increases the chance of a failure, and depending on the failure cause, it could have been prevented. Also if it fails then the tests and inspections will help in ruling out what went wrong. Based on every rocket program track record, BO will be lucky if the first launch attempt is successful.
Just like any project Blue Origin CEO may in truth not want to loose his ownly craft that may be working. He is clearly not willing to do what SpaceX has done by letting failed attemps to add education to SpaceX development. In truth if this Blue Origin fails at the lanch pad it will show that they never had it in the first place and did not want to see the failed attempt. I for one suspect that like any artist they really don't want to say there project is done because the starting over from the begining is exhosting. Yet Blue Origin seems to have this artist flaw in letting go once your at that point. SpaceX see this as trials and stages and not personal.
True! SpaceX seems to treat failures as part of the process, while Blue Origin might be more cautious, maybe even overprotective of their projects. The artist comparison is spot on-sometimes it’s hard to let go and start fresh, but that’s often what leads to real progress. Hopefully, Blue Origin can find a balance and learn to embrace the trial-and-error approach a bit more.
That’s not how it works. Blue and SX have very different development and build methodologies. That’s why we see SX breaking a lot of Starships and why BO doesn’t and why BO has to play it very very safe at every step of the way.
@kenjifox4264 Blue Origin is scared to blow up their pretty rocket. Even NASA understood that failure brings success. Hell, the Russians learned that lesson as well, which is why they had the first man in space before the US. Blue Origin knows that if the rocket blows up they will lose every federal, military and NASA contract that they were already awarded. To be really honest here Blue Origin at this point is nothing but a failure with 20 years of wasted taxpayer money
@@colonbina1I don’t think we should think any less of Blue Origin for going for the “get it right the first time” strategy. Trial and error at the level SpaceX has been doing it is not normal. Airplane manufacturers don’t test fly planes they expect to crash. First-time-right was also the strategy used when we sent men to the moon. Not that I’m saying SpaceXs approach is wrong, but I do think they’ve made some serious and unnecessary mistakes that could’ve been avoided if they just spent a bit more time in designing and manufacturing.
Starship has been testing and testing its systems and has done launches to work out all the bugs. New Glenn has been so delayed it hurt other rocket providers and NASA.
Isn't blue origins reputation already somewhat of a joke? Whenever I hear their name, the famous quote, "you can't sure your way to the moon" comes to mind.
Jeff gives the impression of a part time executive that has not dedicated himself to the success of BO. When I see him sleeping on the floor at BO, like Elon did with Tesla to get things done, then I'll start having confidence in his company. Hanging out on the yacht and frittering around the globe does not inspire confidence. Leaders lead by example that inspire the troops. Where is the inspiration at BO?
Rocket science is hard and much is learned with each launch especially weak areas. If I were an astronaut I would prefer a ride with many successful launches under diverse conditions. If BOs launch is a failure now their credibility will be damaged greatly.
Bezos is far too cautious and demanding in his CEO role to lead that company forward. Whilst I hope we get to see a secend tier platform for space Origin is not gonna be it. I suspect the second platform will eventually be derived of Rocket Lab- for smaller launches initially - developing larger vehicles in the future with forward thinking "REAL TECH DEVELOPMENT" companies.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Thanks for the honesty, or was is sarcasm? Either way I wish the platform well but your business plan needs a high element of risk and substantial funding not reliant on Congress as was the situation with Boeing and Origin earlier. I meant the criticism with good intent and I hope Origin finds a way to axact a higher risk and trial approach when you find the staff who are willing to bring ingenuity and hard dedicated work ethics to the workplace and not come to work with for a set time to merely keep their bums on seats.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Further, you need to toughen-up your Origin workplace practices mate. How long ago, - if ever? did you work a 40-hour week? As Musk has said, - "No-one ever changed the world by working a 40-hour week". Why should your employees not give more time and effort than 40 hours? You put food on their tables, pay for the tables and chairs and roofs over their heads. Demand more.

Can't believe I almost missed out on Cardano and XAI555g! Thanks for the heads-up in your video!
Just like any project Blue Origin CEO may in truth not want to loose his ownly craft that may be working. He is clearly not willing to do what SpaceX has done by letting failed attemps to add education to SpaceX development. In truth if this Blue Origin fails at the lanch pad it will show that they never had it in the first place and did not want to see the failed attempt. I for one suspect that like any artist they really don't want to say there project is done because the starting over from the begining is exhosting. Yet Blue Origin seems to have this artist flaw in letting go once your at that point. SpaceX see this as trials and stages and not personal.
True! SpaceX seems to treat failures as part of the process, while Blue Origin might be more cautious, maybe even overprotective of their projects. The artist comparison is spot on-sometimes it’s hard to let go and start fresh, but that’s often what leads to real progress. Hopefully, Blue Origin can find a balance and learn to embrace the trial-and-error approach a bit more.
That’s not how it works.
Blue and SX have very different development and build methodologies. That’s why we see SX breaking a lot of Starships and why BO doesn’t and why BO has to play it very very safe at every step of the way.
@kenjifox4264 Blue Origin is scared to blow up their pretty rocket. Even NASA understood that failure brings success. Hell, the Russians learned that lesson as well, which is why they had the first man in space before the US. Blue Origin knows that if the rocket blows up they will lose every federal, military and NASA contract that they were already awarded. To be really honest here Blue Origin at this point is nothing but a failure with 20 years of wasted taxpayer money
@@colonbina1I don’t think we should think any less of Blue Origin for going for the “get it right the first time” strategy. Trial and error at the level SpaceX has been doing it is not normal. Airplane manufacturers don’t test fly planes they expect to crash. First-time-right was also the strategy used when we sent men to the moon.
Not that I’m saying SpaceXs approach is wrong, but I do think they’ve made some serious and unnecessary mistakes that could’ve been avoided if they just spent a bit more time in designing and manufacturing.
Neutron flies before New Glenn? Unlikely but more possible with every passing day.
They should change the Feather logo to a Rock. God Bless to all in this Advent season.
Do you know why a rock sinks and a paper boat floats?
@@robertbrown3413 Yes.
Yes!
Blue origin is like NASA, the best of everything first then the product, while Spacex built rockets in a swamp, with tents! Not the same!
So Dragon left the space station, without astronauts? Why it is certified for astronauts??
That was a cargo Dragon not the crew Dragon. It is not rated for astronauts.
Yea, might as well fly Orion #1 on New Glenn inaugural flight since it's already busted heatshield possibly won't matter if it doesn't reach orbit. 😆
YES
Yes
A big humiliation for BO, right?
Has Blue Origin actually launched anything? I know they sent Jeff into oribit but that’s about it.
Bezos is literally a tourist in the rocket business.
They have, ULA Vulcan uses Blue Origin's BE-4 engines and so far they have two successful launches.
They've had 28 New Shepard launches.... does that count?
@@tjtilger He said orbit. No orbit.
@@Brvnkaerv he said they sent Jeff into orbit. Which is incorrect.
Why do you need FAA approval for a test that never leaves the ground? Sounds like overreach to me.
Yes, this is weird but this can be this is the first test of B.O
Thoughts and prayers for BO
Do you still believe this can happen this year?
@ I have no insight on this matter. My speculation would be worthless.
@@colonbina1no, not far along enough in rocket prep. They’re also too cautious.
@@colonbina1BO does 40 hour weeks and takes holidays. No chance.
You are absolutely right, my friend. Sincerely, Jeff Bezos.
Starship is 4 years late and it's still not operational. Let's give New Glen a real chance here.
I don’t know about 4 years late. Starbase was barely anything 4 years ago the first tower was not even built yet.
@@northfloridarails2136He means Starship was supposed to be operational 4 years ago, and it hasn't launched a payload yet (unless you count a banana)
Starship has been testing and testing its systems and has done launches to work out all the bugs. New Glenn has been so delayed it hurt other rocket providers and NASA.
Launch of New Glenn shortly after Artemis lands on the moon
Haha, so we will have to wait until next decade?
Blue Origin has never done anything that makes sense. Why do we think they're going to start now??
Isn't blue origins reputation already somewhat of a joke? Whenever I hear their name, the famous quote, "you can't sure your way to the moon" comes to mind.
Sue Origin
yes!!!!
Okey
New Glen might launch in the year 2125.
You certainly are optimistic!
Jeff gives the impression of a part time executive that has not dedicated himself to the success of BO. When I see him sleeping on the floor at BO, like Elon did with Tesla to get things done, then I'll start having confidence in his company. Hanging out on the yacht and frittering around the globe does not inspire confidence. Leaders lead by example that inspire the troops. Where is the inspiration at BO?
That's why they will never beat SpaceX
Blue Orgin is the master of suing and talking but not so hot on actually flying.
Please make a film on using a magnetic field around the spacecraft to protect the astronauts from radiation
Great suggestion
Launch will be Feb 14, 2025. We hope.
SpaceX has build dozens of ships knowing they'll lose some.
Their test ships are generally expect to be used for one test. Lessons learned get applied to future ships.
No way
Yes 😎 plus, 🤓
Did he just ooch the scissor lift. Is that ok with OSHA!
4:54 Underwhelming indeed!
Rocket science is hard and much is learned with each launch especially weak areas. If I were an astronaut I would prefer a ride with many successful launches under diverse conditions. If BOs launch is a failure now their credibility will be damaged greatly.
Exactly
Bezos is far too cautious and demanding in his CEO role to lead that company forward. Whilst I hope we get to see a secend tier platform for space Origin is not gonna be it. I suspect the second platform will eventually be derived of Rocket Lab- for smaller launches initially - developing larger vehicles in the future with forward thinking "REAL TECH DEVELOPMENT" companies.
Agree
I sense a great delusion in the force..
You are absolutely right, my friend. Sincerely, Jeff Bezos.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Thanks for the honesty, or was is sarcasm? Either way I wish the platform well but your business plan needs a high element of risk and substantial funding not reliant on Congress as was the situation with Boeing and Origin earlier. I meant the criticism with good intent and I hope Origin finds a way to axact a higher risk and trial approach when you find the staff who are willing to bring ingenuity and hard dedicated work ethics to the workplace and not come to work with for a set time to merely keep their bums on seats.
@@Jeffrey_Bezos_Amazon Further, you need to toughen-up your Origin workplace practices mate. How long ago, - if ever? did you work a 40-hour week? As Musk has said, - "No-one ever changed the world by working a 40-hour week". Why should your employees not give more time and effort than 40 hours? You put food on their tables, pay for the tables and chairs and roofs over their heads. Demand more.
Zip- zam and maybe zoom!
⭐🙂👍
XAI555g is definitely on my radar now! Appreciate the insights from your video!
They just need to close their doors
New glenn will be launched before the end of this year.. don't become a toxic spacex fanboy....just appreciate the beautiful machine..if you are really like rocketry, you must appreciate all companies working on it..
if this year means 2028, maybe.
LMAO - yes, appreciate the grifting incompetence.
You did mean Starliner using SpaceX Super Heavy booster to space, right?😂😂
