Blue Origin has been around longer than SpaceX, but they're a lot more secretive about their technology and the things they've built. I wanted to make an overview of the 6 different rocket engines they're designed and tested and the vehicles that have been propelled by them.

    I don't think I will ever get tired of watching rockets tested or launched.

    I have it on good authority that the people working at blue origin love to watch your videos together at the end of long meetings! My dad is living the dream working on the control systems for New Glenn for the next 2 years. So proud.

    I didn't know Peter Beck built a rocket bike - that's really cool

    "Fear and Dread" Not just any fear, but the "just this side of irrational fear and panic feeling" and the "existential dread" that are the constant companions of War

    I really don't know how to evaluate the success of a commercial rocket program except by whether it's delivering payloads to orbit for paying customers at a profit. Fingers crossed for Blue Origin. I hope they make it someday!

    SpaceX: Robot barge Blue Origin: Robot ships SpaceX: Robot oil rig Blue Origin: ??? (Im hearing the US Navy wants to retire some aircraft carriers)

    The line about the offshore bases named after the Martian moons being owned by an eccentric billionaire, offered in a quintessential british droll tone, absolutely made my day.
  • 8:37 Don't get me wrong, I wish Blue Origin the best for all success and no failures, BUT... a New Glenn booster failing to land may outdo Falcon 9 in the "spectacular failure" category

    1am in India, I was about to go to bed but I wouldn't miss your videos! 😊 Fly safe
  • Your updates are so good that I’m taking them totally for granted. Keep up your great work!
  • Thank you for giving an in depth of blue origins early test vehicles!

    I don't think anybody has a problem with them launching stuff up. More launches = better access to space. What everybody laughs at, however, is that they seem to believe they are competition to SpaceX despite never having launched anything to orbit yet. Granted that could change, but they don't have much to back this capability, so far.

    Best Blue Origin video I've ever seen! They really should show these images more, their first tests looks more impressive than what we see these days...
  • Glad to hear an honest appraisal of Blue Origin. Far too many people hate on this company for no reason, even though they're doing solid work on space launch hardware.
