  LOL. Bezos lost 7 rocket engines, Musk lost 6 rocket engines. 7 > 6. Win goes to Musk.

  BO with 1 orbital launch, SpaceX with 330+.
  Routing for BO as well though, competition makes all better. Bravo to both teams/companies, great stuff.

The word for Blue Origin is Finally. BO was founded slightly before Spacex and indeed landed their New Shepard booster before Spacex landed any of theirs. However since then .. Cograts to BO but that has to be tempered.

  Space X’s Falcon 1 reach to the orbit in 2008. Falcon 9 landed booster in 2015. Booster landing on droneship is nothing strange for SpaceX. They launched 133 falcon series rockets in 2024 alone. Over 100 successful booster landed in 2024.

Definitely feels like the space version of Apple vs. Microsoft.

That said, I’m not quite sure which is Apple and which is Microsoft.
