    Musk: Let’s try and insure humans survive by making life multi-planetary by going to Mars
    Bezos: Let’s send paintings to “space”

      @D Musk is sending Artists to the moon now is he? Wow, what a visionary 😂🤣

      @D You mean paying passengers? Just like Bezos plans to do, probably years after SpaceX.

      @Who Is This? Bezos has paying passengers. Musk has passengers waiting for a decade. will have his passengers land in the ocean. Lol. Sounds fun fun fun..

      @Hercules v1.2 well he took their cash. No results. Just like his vaporware self driving nonsense.

      @D Really? I’m pretty sure NASA is a paying customer of SpaceX, and they didn’t even need to sue to get bestowed that honor. Not only have they already sent 10 astronauts up to the ISS over the past 2 years, they’ve sent almost 2-dozen (that’s 24) resupply missions there also and are contracted for many more. You know the ISS is about 150 miles above the peak altitude of Bezos “rocket,” which can’t even reach orbit. I would highly suggest doing a bit of reading instead of being this ignorant, but that’s your choice.

    Between Musk and Bezos who has a bigggger rocket!???

    Space X, Blue Origins, and Rocket Lab will be the big 3 of the space industry!

      @Bambisola Ajayi Bad PR and a few missteps? It’s been 21 years of relative failure. They have a small rocket that can reach the Karman line and that’s it. As a whole, they’ve provided no value to the space industry, they haven’t broken any barriers, done anything new or have achieved any meaningful success. They come off as a cheap imitation to SpaceX, even though they haven’t even earned to be in their shadow. You are right, it may not be that easy to up and leave for another company, but that also doesn’t mean they have to stay there, which to me, condones the leadership and their actions.

      @Who Is This? While I agree Space X and Rocket Lab have done way more. I still can’t count Blue Origin out because of the amount of money that is behind them.

    • Bambisola Ajayi

      August 26, 2021 at 11:55 pm

      @Who Is This? Damn, when you put it like that, I can’t really argue with the lack of real achievement, especially in comparison to spacex and others and the lawsuits and stall tactics make them come off even worse. I’m really not a fan of Bezos, but I am trying not to write them completely off just yet.

    • Who Is This?

      August 26, 2021 at 11:57 pm

      @Sharp Investment Show That’s fair, but money without talent, is just money. If they had the talent, they wouldn’t be where they are today, which is to say years behind schedule and suing to try and get contracts they lost.

    • Sharp Investment Show

      August 27, 2021 at 12:18 am

      @Who Is This? Can’t disagree with that. But still can’t write them off just for that reason.

    Are they allowed to show this rocket footage in Utah, or is it too phallic?

    lol the commenter saying : ”look at that just like she was landing on the moon.” How about get your rocket into orbit first and not sub orbital. Wernher von Braun called from 1944, he wants to let you know he was able to do the same flight with an analog computer.
