Meet CrewMember 7

CrewMember 7 is a unique role at Blue Origin. There are two assigned to each astronaut flight for New Shepard-one is embedded with the astronauts to help them ingress and egress the capsule while the other serves as Capsule Communications (CAPCOM) during the flight. Learn more about their unique and important role in astronaut training and flight operations at Blue Origin.

I see a lot here taking sides which this isn't all about so let me tell you: Every company has it's own unique way for space turism and that's what I love. It's low to see everything as a competition and take sides. I love spaceX, blue origin, virgin galactic, etc and I'm proud of each company's progress

[@heraldthegoose7877]

Exactly. They all have the same goal, who cares who makes it there first?

[@dislike__button]

Blue Origin needs to ramp up their pace considerably. The last thing we want is a monopoly of one company in space, even if it's SpaceX. Competition is the key to progress. This comes from a SpaceX fan.

[@Alderite]

100 % agreed here. We don't like a future where one company will rule out the Space Industry and ended up into an Evil megacorporation, We want thousands of companies in space to compete to one another

@@nasawormlogo9521 They didn't launch the same capsule and booster 15 times. New Shepards 1-4 have flown all those. The Propulsion Module (PM) for NS 1 was lost when it crashed when attempting landing, but the capsule was recovered safely. It took another 6 months before tail no. 2 booster was ready and it flew the next five flights almost flawlessly, even despite the thrust from the capsule's abort engine hitting it on NS-6. After that, the next seven flights were from the more advanced 3rd vehicle and capsule which added windows to the capsule among other improvements. Now we have tail no. 4 flying and it is fully equipped for human passengers.

SpaceX shouldn’t just slow down, or stop completely just because the competition can’t keep up. If anything, SpaceX should keep speeding up the pace of development so other companies, like BO, have to pick up their pace and develop new technologies to stay in the running.

[@RechargeableLithium]

@MANNN Yes, actually, one can. Why? Because there are multiple definitions of where 'space' begins. Well, there's really one one and it's between 50 and 62 miles (80.5-99.7 km). Europe (in the form of the FAI) rounded up, and the US rounded down. There's no significant difference in the atmosphere in that 12 mile area. www.nasa.gov/missions/research/X-15_wings.html

Blue Origin lies practically dormant in the public eye for a decade, and then emerges yesterday and spams the hell out of their live stream with this whole Crew Member Seven-thing. Dear Blue, if you disagree, and think that your past PR efforts have been ‘quite sufficient’, then you are sadly out of touch with the current state of the rocket enthusiast community.

[@thethirdman225]

As a long standing member of that community, I respectfully disagree. The more flights and the more people, the better.

@@NorthernChev Yes but what you are saying is based on your claim that they have lain “practically dormant” which is not true. People seem flustered by the fact that the PR space is dominated by SpaceX and that Blue Origin has a different strategy. In the end, the PR that counts is vision of rockets launching.
