As a long-time Blue Origin supporter, I have to ask: How does your system compare to the New Glenn program? Any thoughts on potential partnerships given the shared vision of space commercialization?
spaceman_jim 6 months ago next
Blue Origin Believer, New Glenn is a remarkable program, and we share Blue Origin's vision for space commercialization and long-term space travel. While there are similarities, our innovative propulsion system offers distinct advantages in terms of cost reduction, efficiency, and speed. We welcome discussions for potential collaborations in the future.
