Blue Origin's official optimism lasted less than two weeks.

Jeff Bezos Opens Up About New Glenn, Discusses Reusability and Manufacturing

https://payloadspace.com/jeff-bezos...-manufacturing/

Quote:
?Space travel is a solved problem,? Bezos said. ?It?s been solved for 50 years. What?s unsolved is the cost. We know how to travel to space. We know how to land on the Moon. We need to be able to do it a hundred times cheaper. So that?s what will really open the heavens to humanity. And that?s what will really make it possible for there to be the kind of entrepreneurial dynamism in space that I just got to witness up close and personal over the last 20 years.?

Near the end of the tour, Dodd asked Bezos if New Glenn would ever fly humans. Bezos answered, saying, ?Yes, at some point?but that?s still a few years out.?

The whole conversation between Tim Dodd and Jeff Bezos is interesting. This is the second part, from which that quote came:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu8SlfmpKM4

The first part is even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsuqSn7ifpU

I think both of these are also posted in another of Winston?s threads?

You are so right: https://www.oldrocketforum.com/showthread.php?t=22406

I seldom watch linked YouTube videos because the links do not specify how long the video is and I generally prefer reading a story than watching video.
