We Are Team Blue

At Blue Origin, our genuine passion for space exploration is evident through the work we do. We’re looking for people who share that passion and want to turn their career into a calling. We're shaping our future in space and we’re looking for dedicated and inspired people to join us.

Another interesting point, a fair number of SpaceX things are fights to allow space to DO something vs Blue Origin and its teams which are constantly fighting to STOP other folks from doing things. Another big source of tension has been that spaceX does do some things differently. Some of the OIG type reporting is interesting. Lots of complaints around paperwork etc. SpaceX basically came back and said, listen, we are building hardware, we are going to test end to end and learn that way. So yes, the first flight may not succeed on the first shot (old space usually went for perfection out the gate). Crew dragon ultimately showed up a lot FASTER as a result, even though spaceX is getting paid a lot less (Boing at 4.2B vs spacex at $2.6B). Supposedly starliner will be trouble free because of all the paper based engineering. We will see. Meanwhile, Blue Origin tried to block SpaceX pad use claiming THEY would have a human rate space vehicle flying 5 years ago - which was a total blatant blocking attempt. The more you read of the attacks and efforts to stop SpaceX (and yes, Biden Admin hates SpaceX, rumor has it Kathy got demoted so they could start getting RFP's out to try to cut SpaceX out) the more your realize how just pathetic the litigation machine over at places like BO are - no focus on actual space / rockets, tons of complaining about others and efforts to block them.
