It’s time for NASA to get out of the launch business.
I’ve only been saying this for over two decades.
Don’t read the comments, though.
[Tuesday-morning update]
Bob Zimmerman is very encouraged about the future of America in space.
Light posting today if at all, because I’ll be at the Space Tech Expo in Long Beach all day.
Don’t read the comments, though.
It’s Ars Technica. They worked hard for that echo chamber and now… it’s echoing.
Ha ha! Same advice I give my friends when I forward articles by Berger or Clark.
The fact that Limp’s boss is on record as wanting to move all extractive and heavy industry off-planet but Limp maintains that there is no commercial case for the Moon and Mars would seem to pretty much guarantee that Blue is not going to be much of a factor in actual space settlement going forward – at least until Bezos dumps Limp like he did the last underperforming CEO at Blue. Bezos’s and Limp’s views are simply fundamentally incompatible at a very basic level.
How does Blue Origin have a platform to demand NASA exit the space-launch business when from I can tell, Blue Origin isn’t even in the space-launch business?
Zing! That’s gotta smart.

Ouchie.
