Patience is the name of the space game. 🛰️
is taking a different tack, however. The company is not moving at nearly as fast a pace as SpaceX, and it has yet to reach orbit. But that’s seemingly all by design,on Wednesday. Blue Origin is operating much more cautiously in a bid to make fewer mistakes on its way toward space.
“Many of us think of Blue Origin as really, truly a potential competitor to SpaceX,” Thomas Zurbuchen, the former top science administrator at NASA, told theOne of the company’s biggest upcoming projects is its fleet of New Glenn orbital rockets, which it plans to launch next year. But that all depends on whether it can build the components and assemble them in a way that meets the company’s high standards.
“I think everybody wants New Glenn to fly at the earliest time possible. Everybody does,” Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith toldThat mindset has at times frustrated some employees working on New Glenn. In the past, a former Blue Origin engineer positively name-dropped SpaceX for the way it incrementally upgrades rockets and works on projects.
Despite the pressure from those both within Blue Origin and in the larger aerospace industry, Bezos’s company has no plans to change its strategy. With a little patience and a lot of hard work, Blue Origin is hoping that it can prove a reputable challenger to Musk’s dominant SpaceX.
