This is hilarious. Bezos began the Blue Origin rocket, space company the same month Musk began SpaceX. SpaceX is reusing rockets 17-18 times, driving down the launch expenses from billions to millions. Blue Origin has launched Captain Kirk (no orbit, just up and down).

I read recently that Bezos/Blue Origin are purchasing another rocket company. Want to bet they will slap the Blue Origin logo on the rockets and announce Blue Origin successful.

Who knows how far along SpaceX and Starship would be if the Hussein/Biden Regime were not in the way. There were times during the first President Trump administration that SpaceX was testing aspects of Starship once a month. I often explain to those that will listen the concept of test-to-failure. If you want to know how strong a fuel tank is, what is the maximum pressure possible, they kept filling it until it failed. May look spectacular, and now they determined the maximum pressure for the tank. The test was successful, but the Drive-By Media will never report it as such.

I hope to live long enough to witness Starship orbit Mars, with or without humans on board.

I read that some government agencies are trying to block or delay Starship tests, etc.

I agree with my son, a physicist, that Elon Musk is a national treasure.

Yep. And Biden/Obama's FAA puts a 3-month freeze on SpaceX every time "environmentalists" whine about a launch.

In my best Mr. Spock voice, “Fascinating.”

Wait, how does this work exactly?

You are telling me that SpaceX... makers and deployers of Starlink... are going to willingly launch their direct competitor’s satellite system?

Why?

Is Kuiper actually just rebadged Starlink and they’re both in it together?

[aynrandfreak]

Isn’t Bezos’s Washington Post one of the companies that pulled their ads from X? Musk should make him start advertising again first.

There’s Theory and then there is Practice....

Amazon signs launch contract with SpaceX

For.... deliveries to the space station? To the moon?

Mars?

SpaceX better be careful, Amazon worked with Fedex and UPS then started up their own delivery service. FedEx dropped Amazon in 2019. Amazon is now bigger then either in number of packages delivered.
