Spacex And Blue Origin

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket successfully completed a crucial second-stage hot fire test ahead of its first orbital launch in November. The test confirmed the smooth interaction between key subsystems and validated the performance of its two BE-3U engines. New Glenn’s maiden mission will transport the Blue Ring orbital platform into space, ma...

A recent study has concluded that rocket launches are taking a larger toll on the climate like no other. Using a 3D model to explore the impact of rocket launches and re-entry in 2019, the team stated the “impact of projected space tourism scenarios is based on the recent billionaire space race.”

General Motors and Lockheed Martin have said that they could develop a whole lineup of vehicles for work on the Moon and that these could be available to commercial space companies - like SpaceX and Blue Origin - as well and not just NASA.

Jeff Bezos' space tourism venture Blue Origin completed its fifth crewed launch on Saturday after a New Shepard rocket's back-up system that had not met expectations delayed the voyage last month. Blue Origin's fourth flight landed successfully in March in west Texas after taking six passengers for a 10-minute journey to the edge of space.

Elon Musk in a recent interview took a fresh dig at Jeff Bezos saying that he should focus on reaching the orbit rather than filing lawsuits. Musk's comments were about Bezos' Blue Origin filing a case to block SpaceX's NASA moon lander contract.
