Replay - First Human Flight Post-Flight Press Conference

Replay of Blue Origin's post-flight press conference with New Shepard’s first astronaut crew.
Participants included Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk, and Oliver Daemen. Ariane Cornell, Director of Astronaut Sales, emceed the event.

[@occasionally404]

So I guess Wally is the oldest in space, Oliver is the youngest, Mark is the funniest, and Jeff is the richest. Congrats Blue Origin!!

Effective 07/20/2021, the fcc altered the rules for officially qualifying as an astronaut to screw them out of the distinction. New Eligibility Requirements. To be eligible for FAA Commercial Space Astronaut Wings, commercial launch crew members must meet the following criteria: a. Meet the requirements for flight crew qualifications and training under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part460. b. Demonstrated flight beyond 50 statute miles above the surface of the Earth as flight crew on an FAA/AST licensed or permitted launch or reentry vehicle. c. Demonstrated activities during flight that were essential to public safety, or contributed to human space flight safety.

It has to do with reaction time. Think about the pencil vs. broomstick analogy. When you realize the item is off-balance and move your finger to recover, it takes a moment - with the larger, heavier broomstick you can still get there in time, but the pencil gets away from you before you have time to react. The sensors and computers driving engine gimbals and/or RCS thrusters are the same way - the correction can happen slower with a bigger vehicle.
