It's official. We are space racing ourselves now lol
Nah Nasa is just contract SpaceEx and Bule Orguon to work together so Aretmis 3 and 4 Will be spaceex while Aretmis 5 and 6 will be by Bule Orgin now the future missions is unclear but will envole the Gate space station and some piont within the next few years since sonfar where only going as far Apollo 8 in 2024 with Aretmis 2 mission Apollo 11 with Aretmis will be in 2026
@@aaronthe747fanYou clearly don’t understand their comment
The difference is, one of those two companies have actually been putting rockets into orbit for decades, and one has cool powerpoints.
Huh?
ok 👍
Spacex?
bezos started blue origin in 2000 and he still has not managed an orbital flight . 23 years and still waiting
Cuz Bezos just stopped trying as much he didn’t put all efforts into it. That’s why it wasn’t formed yet. You have to go all in to make it worked rather than doing slow.
The only way Blue Moon is getting there will be in Starship payload bay.
😂
😂 so true
Actually even the extended Starship payload bay is too short to house the Blue Moon lander due to how quickly it tapers off. New Glenn is the only rocket capable of accommodating it.
@@luther0013too short?😂
@@HandleBruhWhy yes the Starship payload bay is not some infinite cavern. The payload user guide details the payload envelope dimensions and the extended bay tapers off too quickly to allow Blue Moon to fit inside. The New Glenn payload fairing is very tall while the Starship one is fatter.
So, a company that has never put anything in orbit nor has a functioning launch vehicle has been awarded a contract to design, build, and land a vehicle on the moon. Sounds like something NASA would do.
Don't forget been given double the budget.
It’s necessary to force competition between blue origin and SpaceX and also worst case scenario one doesn’t work out they have a redundancy so they aren’t put off schedule. A lot can happen at blue origin between now and later this decade.
Amazon cash under the table is a great motivator.
This is disingenuous. Many companies without launch vehicles or experience in space have and continue to build orbital and exploratory infrastructure.
Grumman had never built a launch vehicle or had launched anything into space, and they designed, built, and tested the Lunar Module for the Apollo program.
NASA has to spread the money around, and long ago it was NASA who determined that space is too complex for any one company. Contracts are therefore distributed to many different companies.
SpaceX is just ONE company. They can't do it all no matter what they would have you think.
@@stuarthamilton5112 Blue Origin hasn't even reached orbit.
They need to show both landers using the same scale.
for those who don't know. blue origin sued NASA because they originaly hadnt been chosen for the lander program.
Thats actually very common with large government contracts at stake.
Super annoying, but standard stuff.
we know
If BO does get their act together, I look forward to more competition in the industry. Buying launches from a monoopoly will not be a good thing.
Blue Origin has an alternative project name for this program. "Pie In The Sky."
Its not yet ready but i like how rustic it look compared to the starship😊😊
Blue Origin hasn't gotten off the launch pad. Nrzo's better do a hurry up.
and then you wake up..
Are you the guy from "The Launch Pad" but slim?
While I don't yet have any faith in Blue Origin (and still not all too confident in Starship either... seriously, it needs several additional launches to refuel it just to get out of low Earth Orbit!), we also have to remember that Grumman was lampooned as well while it was struggling, delayed, and over-budget on the original Lunar Module, until finally it worked.
I have no doubt this lander will be delayed as well, more likely to 2030, but... from a design standpoint, I'm far more optimistic with this than SpaceX's desperate attempt to appear sleek and cool.
Who will be the launch provider
Is there a pool on when Blue Origin will fly New Glen? How about being able to build and fly a lunar lander? Any chance they will be able to provide engines to ULA?
I love the space habitat concept much more than going to Mars and living at the bottom of another gravity well. Why the planetary chauvinism?
Blue Origin supplied two Be-4 engines to Vulcan last year. And Vulcan is of course ULA's next primary launch vehicle. They had a nominal static fire a few weeks ago. However, the Centaur second stage needs an upgrade after the explosion of a Centaur a few months ago revealed the forward end of the rocket needed thicker shielding. First launch delayed indefinitely.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 The Be4s shut off after 60 seconds. They are junk.
Lets see Raptors make it to MECO before we call other engines junk @@eleventy-seven
How exactly are you going to hold hydrogen in a tank in space? It's not easy
I don’t know? The same way every rocket does?
Today it is actually relatively easy given they’ve been using hydrogen as propellant since the 50s…
@@cadennorris960 also water contains hydrogen and it has been confirmed in the moons shadows there is water ice
BO has been a one trick pony. Their BE4 engines are way behind and still having problems.
By all means, go with Bozo's system. It'll be another 50 years.
I wish I could support the Blue Moon project but nothing Jeff Bezos does amounts to any good but good for himself.
Soviets: I can smell capitalism in space🤔😅
In other words, Starship is a POS & they need a backup for when SpaceX finally goes bust.
My money is on SpaceX. People said Falcon 9 was a POS and could never become reusable or land back on Earth. So, how many times has a Falcon 9 booster landed back on Earth and been reused? Over 200 times in case you missed that. A single booster has done it 15 times and is certified to launch 5 more times. You SpaceX haters are pathetic. The next Starship launch will show marked performance improvements, and each launch will get better and better until it is human rated. Blue Origin will still be building prototypes that can't fly.
@gregorythoman9764 you've lost your money already mate. Consider the contract between SpaceX and NASA null & void the moment Starship blew up the launch pad. There is zero chance it will be ready in time for 2025 missions to the moon. They might not even have permission to attempt their 2nd test launch by then. Then if they ever do make it to space, it's not like they will attempt a moon mission 1st try add on several more years testing all the various stages for the full mission. Then they have to construct all these refilling ships that don't exist yet.
Falcon does some great stuff, but it's not like SpaceX came up with smaller rockets. We've been doing that for 60 years. No one said it was a POS. Maybe they said the reusable gimmick was pointless considering there is fk all commercial demand.
And no, they haven't been reused 200 times. There hasn't even been 200 missions yet.
I don't hate SpaceX. I'm envious of the people that get to work on this stuff. It's just a shame they have a f''n moron in charge. It's his influence that has made Starship the lemon that it is today. Saying "oh well the next version will be able to do all these fantastical things" is not proof of anything. Do you know how many times Elon says dumb sh1t like that & it always turns out to be BS? Literally every time. I could give you a hundred examples off the top of my head.
@@mervstash3692wiki lists 243 Falcon 9 launches and the record is 16 launches for a rocket. SpaceX was repeatedly insulted for their early attempts with Falcon 9 too. Buzz Aldrin even made Elon cry.
@@kokomo9764Success with with Falcon 9, does NOT gaurantee success for Starship.
This is a common fallacy people make.
@@octaviondeminicolas1941Alot of those "insults" were actual made up by Musk to get sympathy and pity for himself.
what a joke
The only thing BO will accomplish by '28 is filing more lawsuits.
