@compunaut but there is enough failure going on while SpaceX is plowing ahead. Wtf starliner. And bezos being a little bitch when they can barely get to space? Why would I trust you to build a moon landed when you can’t even make an engine
@compunaut@unksol Ars article titles often leave a lot to be desired. It seems that the writers don’t have much, if any, input into the title going above their work.
Eric Berger is quite knowledgeable on space topics, and writes well. I ignore the titles and read most of what he writes. (I haven’t read his book yet, but I hear it is good.)
A more accurate title would be “Everything we know about the BE-4 schedule delay, including some new insider information. (Still isn’t much.)”
Blue Origin might become a competitor to SpaceX within this decade. Sort of like a new local brewpub’s root beer might become a much more expensive competitor to Coca Cola’s Barq’s, but right now they can make soda that only looks right. They’re good for publicity photos, but they can’t let anyone taste it. The good news is they hired a new brewer that understands the importance of using clean equipment.
I just assumed cause bezos and old space suck ass in a special way. Musk might be autistic but his shit stacks/flys
Unfortunately, there’s simply not enough data available to perform a technical deep-dive

@unksol Just remarking that the article is woefully short on details.
