Historic Rocket Landing

Blue Origin’s New Shepard space vehicle successfully flew to space, reaching its planned test altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers) before executing a historic landing back at the launch site in West Texas.

Jim Marshall *Some people didn't notice, but it landed Dead Center on the Landing Pad, that's pretty impressive. I can see them scaling it up, you have to start out small to prove your theory, and once you do then you can build it on an ever larger scale.* *Getting that Rocket to Relight and Throttle up and Down and 'Gimbal' while it's Falling Rapidly to Earth, the way it did took some complex engineering, considering you have to balance the Center of Gravity on a Rocket Flame.*

***** Yes, but that doesn't mean they're the winner. They're not competing in the same market as Blue Origin. It's roughly like comparing the power of an iPhone versus a gaming desktop computer - an iPhone obviously has some ability to do light gaming, but its goal really is never to compete with a gaming computer. Is the gaming computer better at gaming? Sure but it's going to cost a lot more, be less portable, etc. I'm aware of who SpaceX sells to.

+Jeffrey Root There's no such thing as "suborbital space." There's just space. There are suborbital flights *into* space, and there are orbital flights *into* space. The main difference between suborbital and orbital is how fast you're going. Orbital flights are at much higher speeds than suborbital flights.

[@jeffreyroot4566]

+Guy Gantor Sorry guy Gantor. I should have said suborbital flight rather than suborbital space. I didn't mean to offend you. Point being, SpaceX is trying to do something much harder and the Falcon 9 is in a completely different competition than New Shepherd.

wow ive been a fan of elon for a long and followed him, i haven't really noticed that jeff is doing these things too, that's amazing! i've heard of blue origin but i didn't know that jeff was behind this.. That's cool, very interesting guy and with limitless resources, he could really achieve great things for all of humanity, im really excited to follow blue origin too now!

If only he was achieving great things for all of humanity and not just a literal handful of extremely wealthy individuals...

Five years later: Still haven’t been to orbit. Still haven’t launched astronauts. Still resting comfortably on their laurels. EDIT: Well, they haven't given up. They've launched astronauts now. I don't wish any bad on them, only that they would improve and reach their full potential!

Every parent is proud when they see their child can drive a car to the end of the driveway and then drive all the way back in reverse. But it's a completely different story when they drive an 18-wheeler down the driveway then around the block. Then they put it in reverse and drive it all the way back and back into the same driveway.

[@ginger02231]

who tf would allow their child to drive a car

[@ginger02231]

SpaceX rockets are made for sending satellites to orbit. Blue origin is looking to have space tourism. Nonetheless, landing a rocket is still hard.

[@albeit1]

Wow! Nice Definitely not a trivial accomplishment, no matter the size. But I do think the SpaceX approach is better, so far. He’s delivered a lot of cargo and now astronauts to the ISS and put a lot of satellites in orbit.

[@UrbanApostle]

the falcon 9 landing is definitely cooler. new shepard decelerates to a very low velocity then land while the falcon 9 decelerates at a constant rate. HOVER SLAM I like how Jeff bezos said what spacex is trying to do is the same in an interview (a very rich billionaire can be so cheap) , then just recently announces to launch an orbital flight by the end of the decade. Spacex might be doing their first landings on mars by then.
