Here's Why Musk's SpaceX Has Grown Bigger, Faster And Cheaper Than Bezos' Blue Origin

[@serpentphoenix]

There's a lot more going on, Blue Origin employees comprise experienced SpaceX, NASA engineers, whereas SpaceX is mostly young, fresh out of university engineers.

4:29 In what world is 110 million cheaper than 70 million? That makes Space X cheaper than Blue Origin, not the other way around

[@ArtyomYamshchikov]

F9 can deliver around 18 tons to LEO while New Glenn can lift 45t to the same orbit. More than twice the payload of F9 for a slightly bigger price

[@ThomasJacobz]

@ falcon heavy is still cheaper per kg and more reliable solution for the customers. New Glenn is still not operational.

[@adamb8317]

Also Falcon Heavy can lift 60 tons to LEO with a similar cost to New Glenn, or less payload for closer to $90 million. Heavy and New Glenn are the actual competitors, and FH is a proven launch vehicle.

[@adamb8317]

Falcon Heavy yeeted the 6 ton Europa Clipper to Jupiter, which is a very energy expensive launch, for something like 10 times less what the SLS would have cost for the same mission.

[@posthocprior]

IMO, this is too early to reach a comparison between the two companies. Any company in a field that has a high level of barrier to entry and is innovative is necessarily going to have a long lead over any other competitor. If, however, the marketplace is rational (doesn't discriminate against newcomers) than eventually competitors will start to take away market share from the initial leader in the market. Also, the private rocket business is now worldwide. Focussing only on one of SpaceX's competitors misses the point of how competitive this field has become.

[@basilihuoma5300]

Right now, in the moment, who is leading the space industry?

[@samuelbucher5189]

Too early? Both companies are more than 20 years old. How old is old enough?

[@stevieathome4942]

Blue Origin costs $110 million and SpaceX costs $70 million, and SpaceX has HIGHER costs? huh?

[@YarGnawh]

blue origin can't sustain that price if they don't land their boosters. and afaik, there aren't any flight ready new glenns waiting. so unless BO can land it 99% of the time and drastically improve their production time, even with their higher payload to orbit, they still can't compete with f9.

LEO is entry level stuff

[@ThomasJacobz]

@@flytoday If LEO is that easy, why there is no other successful space company like them. SpaceX Launched Over 80% of All Orbital Payload Mass in 2024. Every astronaut from the Western world who has traveled to the International Space Station in the last five years has had to use SpaceX's Crew Dragon. SpaceX’s Falcon series rockets are the only reusable space rockets in the world and in the history of mankind. No one has yet succeeded in first-stage landings like SpaceX-not China, not Russia, not Blue Origin.

[@keithrange4457]

Your ending comparison of $100B NG launch vs $70M F9 launch, isn't really comparable. Preface, im not bashing Blue Origins New Glen rocket. Just facts as i understand. Im eager for NG to progress to launching 10s or hundreds of times per year. MOAR SPACE MOAR BETTER!! 😉👍 F9's cost to customers is what it is, because SpaceX can charge that and still be cheaper than current competition. F9's internal cost has been calculated to be $20M, including pad, personel, refurbishment, expended 2nd stage, and amortized cost of the reusable 1st stage and the actual development of the rocket. BO's NG rocket main financial detractor is as you stated - it took $14B dollars to get here. The amortized cost of the development alone, ignoring hardware, people, pad, fuel, etc -means it will take many hundreds or perhaps 1k+ rocket launches sold and many many years to turn a profit. In regards to NG's mass to orbit being greater, you cant ignore that SpaceX has Falcon Heavy. NG can put 45T into LEO (reusabke 1st stage design goal, unproven). FH can put 50T when recovering all 3 1st stage boosters (for apple to apple comparison). Most of all customers value reliability. They dont want their $100M to $10B cargo to Kablooiey. BO's NG doesnt yet have the pedigree.

off subject but if Elon and DOGE really can make the government more efficient, than I'm fine with Elon making his cake and eating it to. and SpaceX is just the start. watch his boring company get massive government contracts or neuralink get government research grants.

[@vannustube]

@@DemPilafian a quick google suggests Russian launches (that the US used after retiring the shuttle) cost the same as these private companies. which is probably why these private companies use that price. it's not really saving NASA anything - but it is reducing/eliminating a dependency on Russia

[@DemPilafian]

@ The U.S. purchased rocket engines from Russia after the Cold War to prevent Russian scientists and engineers from working with rogue states and terrorist groups. Russian engines were very good, but they are no longer competitive. SpaceX Starship could never happen with Russian engines -- wrong technology. The Raptor engines are far more flexible (both figuratively and literally).

Spoiler: the American taxpayer bailed him out

[@ThomasJacobz]

Before SpaceX, American taxpayers were getting charged by ULA (Lockheed + Boeing) for satellites launches that were ten times more expensive for the same service. Prior to that, the Space Shuttle cost $450 million per launch in 2011 just to resupply and travel to the ISS. Today, SpaceX can do the same job for just $69 million in 2024. Between 2011 and 2020, before the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, the U.S. relied on Russia's spacecraft to send astronauts to the ISS.
