Announcing Orbital Reef - Your Address in Orbit
Blue Origin and Sierra Space have announced plans for Orbital Reef, a commercially developed, owned, and operated space station to be built in low Earth orbit. The station will open the next chapter of human space exploration and development by facilitating the growth of a vibrant ecosystem and business model for the future. Orbital Reef is backed by space industry leaders and teammates including Boeing, Redwire Space, Genesis Engineering Solutions, and Arizona State University.
Designed to open multiple new markets in space, Orbital Reef will provide anyone with the opportunity to establish their own address on orbit. This unique destination will offer research, industrial, international, and commercial customers the cost competitive end-to-end services they need including space transportation and logistics, space habitation, equipment accommodation, and operations including onboard crew. The station will start operating in the second half of this decade.

Amazing to see Blue Origin finally competing with Pixar.
The only problem is that BO is not capable to pull lawsuit after lawsuit to Disney.
TIL the animations I made at school were Pixar quality
I've read a hundred or so entertaining comments about this video, but I think this one's my fave!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best of luck. Hopefully you don't need too many lawyers to make this happen.
Lol
I like this comment
You can't sue your way into orbit.
@Jdjdjd Ridid spacex didnt invent reusable rockets lol
@@feyg0 they did... Lol
Can't wait to play this, love sim games. Is it PC exclusive or coming to PS5 & Xbox as well?
😂😂
Oculus exclusive
It's KSP 3.0
I hope that the requirements for PC are not many, my computer is not that powerful.
I think its coming to the Series X and Ps5 as well as pc and maybe even Switch in the future
Who am i to say something about BO and space exploration but man... Remember the lesson: Under-promisse and over-deliver ALWAYS! Not the other way around, boys! Waiting for a colaboration between BO and Everyday Astronaut for Tim be able to show us something tangible instead of those CGI's.
I think Scott Manley would be better, he would not hold back if he found anything suspect.
Only thing Tim would find in that big hanger of BO, is a giant ass green screen and some props 🤣
Very True, BO have motive to make money not to make man kind multiplanetary, no progress only crying. Just wested my 8 min
Eles tem o suficiente pra fazer acontecer. Um banco de 200 bilhões chamado Jeff bezos.
I feel exactly the same way
You need to actually have an orbital rocket to launch an orbital station
Maybe Bezos can sue his space station into orbit
Not that I approve of Blue Origin's boss' tactics in regard to NASA and SpaceX, (I don't) but he does have the New Glenn rocket (NG) in development, and it could take lots of hardware to LEO, but BO is spending way more $$$ building rockets with composite materials, than SpaceX is with a special-purpose stainless steel, and it shows in the way they have yet to finish fabricating their first NG rocket, while SpaceX has fabricated several Starships and boosters, so far, and is cranking them out much, much faster than BO is building their NG, and SpaceX has very many investors who believe in Elon and his dreams, seeing how he has gone about things and doesn't waste time attacking anyone else (hint, hint, Jeff).
@@zackgarrit5654 They have had New Glen in developement for a long time. SpaceX was started after BO and they have orbial class rockets, a heavy lift rocket, and human rated spacecraft that dock with the ISS. Blue Origin, all that time and money, and they've built a carnival ride for rich people. BO can't even build enough of their engines for New Shepard while SpaceX is making Raptors like they're popcorn, and improving them along the way. Bezos really screwed up when he hired all those execs from the 'old school' space companies.
lmao, at least jeff's ego is in orbit and until we see NG reach orbit this is just cheap talk
No reason to not launch its falcon heavy or starship or Vulcan.
>Now we have access to systems that cost less to launch and land. >CGI New Glenn No, you do not.

this is genuinely a cool idea, why not put more time, money, and effort into making this a reality instead of trying to bog down SpaceX
It really is. We all love blue origins visions and ideas, but they can be frustrating and slow. Let's hope this is a huge success

@@amazingsoyuz873 Your last sentence makes absolutly no sense. You could say that about Starship, it's rapid prototyping and actual work put in those promises. Nothing of which you can see at Blue Origin. That's the only thing that matters. No fancy graphics, we want to see them build the actual thing. Oh and stop pulling numbers out of your ass like candy. Your estimated 500 million for Starship want to be explained. You can't scale something that's not even made of the same material like you did.
But than they wouldn't get billions of your taxpayers dollars...seems simple to rip you guys off...
I was always told to under promise and over deliver. Usually works a LOT better.

@@EV3NTH888 With SpaceX's space station plans being....? Look, I like SpaceX. They have done impressive stuff, quickly, without a doubt. I wish them great success. But goodness, there is no reason to have a simple "my team vs every one else" mentality when it comes to space. Real progress in LEO will require many different companies and groups working sometimes together and sometimes independently. There's no need for meeting any news about plans by companies other than SpaceX with quips about how SpaceX will do it first....particularly when they haven't even indicated they are working on doing the same sort of thing.
@@OptimusNiaa I agree. Extra emphasis on the fact that SpaceX's long term goals nowhere include space stations for research. They want to reach Mars, and I sure am hopeful, nay, confident that they will. However, there are other companies that are doing fantastic jobs as well, and it would be unfair to undermine their progress just because they have not achieved it at Elon's pace.
You only need to build something that actually flies to space.
nah this will pay for future starship development ;)
It's some kind of irony that they partner with Boeing who in the last few years haven't proven their reliability.
@@annando It's like it's satire.
New Shepard flies to space regularly
Hey! NS can fly to space! It crossed the Kármán line, even went 6 km further.
Well if they focused their efforts on actual progress instead of suing their competition to slow them down, they'd actually get something done. This is a really cool concept and I'd love to see them accomplish it.
100% it will not happen; Blue Origin are largely incompetent. You need a great leader to work in space and they ain’t got one.
Apparently everyone forgot when space x sued NASA
@@nolimitsouldier09 SpaceX have never sued NASA; you are lying. Stop lying.

Naahh.. blue origin will take care of the payloads (joyride customers / astronauts) by themself.

@@Brianadfl Yes. When i heard that they would use starliner i imediently gave up on this idea. Dosent seem like they take it seriusly.
All joking aside, this looks like Blue Origin attempting to keep their “national team” together after losing the moon lander. This vision includes most of the same companies as moon lander. The projects that are shown - yes they are incomplete but they’re also far along in development. If Bezos takes the money he recently offered for moon lander development and throws it at orbital reef, including directly paying these partners to complete their portion, it could very quickly get BO into position for a unique niche of paying customers. …assuming they ever get to orbit X-D
Not really a team or they would have already built something capable of orbital launch. 5 or 6 private companies working together and they still haven't come up with something useful that 1 company has been able to do in a fraction of the time.
@@DaddyPilkers That's really disappointing and inexcusable. All those huge companies with all that technical experience working together, and they STILL can't get it done??
BO's going to fail. It's not a matter of money (they and their team have more) or a matter of time (they all started before Space X), it's about talent and process. BO hired the fuddy duddy's that screwed up the US Space program turning into a money machine where they don't have to show real results. Too many bean counters and not enought stary eyed young engineers.
If that's true why are they still suing?
@@chrisantoniou4366 Because that's what any Jeff Bezos company does. They sue, not to win the case, but to delay it's competitors. They have enough money to throw around that the money they use for the lawsuit is just a penny out of their pocket because by delaying their competitors it gives them a unfair advantage and shows how easy it is to abuse the justice system if you are rich enough. Jeff Bezos has always used very anti-competitive practices. The National Team is a joke. This is why SpaceX didn't join the National Team, because the old way of getting a contract and relying on that contract for funding to build a orbital solution is too slow and has too much red tape. SpaceX is what we needed to weed out this old-school thinking and be more progressive.
I always defended BO, but man, this really feels like one of those Scientology infomercials. 😖
Wait, ''we have access to systems that cost less to launch and land'', really? Where? Are they talking about Falcon 9? Or their rocket that is still just CGI?
Yea, I suppose they will buy starships from spacex and will change the logo
I like the part where they showed a rendering of something only their competitor has so far actually done.
right , even when spacex announce BFR , they already have falcon 9 already lunch and land , which blue didnt have anything can go to orbit yet , all just CGI and render
@@takusamsara3375 ye and falcon heavy. Plus spacex has actually showed big progress on starship and they will most likely do a orbital test flight within a month or two

You would be amazed how much of this stuff has bee there ready to go for the last 60 years.
Not gonna hold my breath. I want BO to succeed, but my bones will be dust before BO gets a rocket in orbit.
you want them to succeed so they can file more lawsuits?
@@pratwurschtgulasch6662 lol
Red flags for two reasons: 1. BO has yet to reach orbit with so much as a CubeSat, never mind a commercial station module. 2. Starliner is reckless and doomed to cancellation. Other than that, it's a decent render. Can't wait to see the lawsuits and excuses for why they will stay renders
starliner is doomed to cancellation after 1 semi-failed flight while Starship after 20 failed flights and explosions isnt doomed?
@@MARK-gp9hb Yes. Starliner is doomed to cancellation specifically because of how few successful flights there were able to fly after an extremely long time in development and extensive testing compared to Starship which is still in active development and yet has still managed to make fully successful flights.
@@Sir_Uncle_Ned 1) Starship keeps exploding 2) its just a test version, when complete it will be greatly downgraded compared to the CGI renderings and this is because: 3) It has design flaws which means it will cost more than promised and wont work as intended: using it for point to point travel is a dumb idea, as a space station or moon base it would also be pretty bad and would mean modifying it and saying goodbye to reusability, so in the end you are left with a rocket to put heavy loads into space, nothing extraordinary. Also i hope you dont believe we will colonize Mars anytime soon, cause we wont, let alone with starship...
@@Sir_Uncle_Ned also SpaceX may fail before Starship, seeing whats going on with the engines recently
@@MARK-gp9hb Yawn. Wake me up when Starliner makes a flight during which they don't get the wrong time from a digital clock

Tory already knows where the engines are. According to sources, they're the next engines to go down to Corn Ranch in Texas for acceptance testing, and then if they check after a test firing, they'll go to ULA in Alabama.

CGI rockets are nearly free to launch and land after the initial design work.
@@AdmiralBob Actually, they still have to "fake" the CGI landings. I doubt they are using hardware-in-the-loop simulations to land the CGI ones.

This looks very cool and all, and I genuinely hope it does succeed, but maybe you should try getting to orbit first as well as delivering Tory's engines...
But getting to orbit you need a payload and this seems like a good one. People forget that space is not about launchers, it's about payloads. SpaceX had to come up with Starlink to have something to fly to space and Blue Origin will also need similar things. Kuiper and commercial space stations. The best thing is they use the small Van Braun space vehicle to service the station. That was a great touch!
@@KsNewSpace Payloads do pay the bills.. but for the first flight of many systems, some companies send things like used cars on solar orbits past Mars.. As a matter of fact... ULA has won years of US Air force contract flights..... now if only they had the engines the Blue origin is supposed to be giving Tory...

Boeing: "We will provide all of the operations and maintenance." Yeah... no thanks.
It's been 19 years since BO was founded. Let's be realistic, it will take more than 5 years before BO achieves arbit and another 10 years to be reliable and safe enough to launch sure modules. SpaceX can certainly launch the whole orbital reef within the next 6 months with their current capability. BO should first prove it can go to arbit which is 10 times harder than what they are currently capable of.
Great PowerPoint skills, it really takes the best engineers to create such an amazing presentation. It would also be really cool to see you actually building your first orbital rocket 😉
I appreciate the ambition Blue has but they seem to be getting abit ahead of themselves. They haven’t put a rocket into space yet!
technically they reached space but not orbit
@@FrankDTank-lf4dq barely reaching the karmin line is hardly space.
Making it into orbit isn't really the milestone for being able to develop something for space, I feel. When Grumman made the LEM, they hadn't sent any rockets to space either ;) NASA has more than 60 years of spaceflight experience which BO can draw upon. I think it's more important that they actually make the hardware, getting into space will happen on it's own.
@@serpent5751 but they weren’t banging on about doing it for years and years were they? That was a nasa contract which is different. Blue have been going on and on about New Glenn a long time now with little to nothing to show for it. As I said I admire their ambition but they need to provide actual hardware which works before thinking about anything like this.
Also another point they still haven’t delivered Tory’s engines for Vulcan! How can they plan for the future when they are failing to provide hardware for the present!?
Where are my engines, Jeff?
Amazing that they have orbital transportation of crew and cargo all taken care of already by all these companies that regularly fly to the ISS!
They have a great imagination and great 3d artists... I have to admit. Now launch ANYTHING into orbit and land it in one piece before 2030... or is that too tricky??
Orbital reef sounds cool, a shame that the mention of Blue Origin is immediately negative attention
yeah, it's sad
It cus they have a rocket that looks like a pp and haven't even gotten to orbit...
Maybe they should stop lying about having hardware and actually have one
Up until recently the negative attention was just focused on their lack of progress and wasn't too pointed. But now their legal actions are threatening to derail humanity's return to the moon. NASA's own words: "All of this once-in-a-generation momentum, can easily be undone by one party-in this case, Blue Origin-who seeks to prioritize its own fortunes over that of NASA, the United States, and every person alive today" Imagine the ire that General Dynamics or Aerojet would have called upon themselves if they had stepped in the way of Apollo during the 1960s. I'd say the current resentment against Blue Origin is well deserved.
@thegodtroynaar They have themselves to blame.
So basically what he's saying is, " you don't have to be a billionaire to go into space. Just a millionaire."

Gradatim Lawsuiter! Nice, at 1:36 you're showing off Dreamliner's "killer feature" of unnecessary thruster firings. That's a capability they've already demonstrated! And at 2:32, you show the Blue Origin guy in a vast, empty building. That's totally on-brand for them!
*Starliner
@@mu_q9240 Aw, whoops. I get all of Boeing's albatrosses mixed up.
@@setSCEtoAUX that's ok, happens once in a while....
The fact that they've mentioned Boeing as a partner in this project only reassures my doubts.
''Now we have access to systems that costs less to launch and land'' ... Proceeds to show images of New Glenn...
another space station. amazing.
let's hope BO actually gets it done along with their partners within the next decade...
the starship enterprise will be a thing before this lmao
@@FrankDTank-lf4dq its 2030 and while BO and Boeing are scrambling to make this station work, Spacex is running an Artemis lunar base and sending starships to mars.
@@clevergirl4457 ok, we haven't seen starship do an orbital flight and landing yet too but as things are going so far I would be more inclined to bet on your spacex scenario than BO&Boeing ever succeding in building a space station. Who will pay for it? Besos won't put his own money into the project as Elon did with spacex.
yujirorasy rush - You work for Blue Origin’s Social Media department.
Nice idea. But where's the news of actually putting something - anything - into orbit with a real New Glenn?
That Space Shuttle docking port at 1:30 will come in handy.
I'm sure the scientists doing actual ground breaking work on this station will love spending their time hanging out with Hollywood and instagram influencers
Awesome to see. There will be about 8-10 space stations by 2030.
I think this one ain't launching before late 2050
The fact that NASA isn't mentioned as a partner in this means the entire aerospace industry has shifted. This is big news, vapor ware or not.
That's just reality hitting them... after all those legal actions I doubt NASA wants to work with them
The NASA (and ESA, JAXA, ...) is still needed though. There is a need for scientific missions to deep space. This here is more a chance for more applied research in microgravity. (Which also is a good idea).
Another 3D video from BlueOrigin. You have great 3D rendering skill. Would like to see more 3D projects.
Reef is an excellent name. I don't personally care about all the infighting and politics, just want the next step for humanity.
Excited for you to eventually put something into orbit, maybe then you can start thinking about building space colonies. :)
Lot of nice renders. Still waiting to see New Glenn though.
Please put something into orbit! That day will be so awesome!
I love how everyone in the comments are roasting blue origin and Jeff Bezos
Oh amazing. Another marvel from my favourite VXF Studio. (Seriously, the only thing they have ever done is provide us with renders)
No1 VFX studio in the world is BO😂
This looks like a real life Subnautica base...
Orbital Reef, Axiom and Orbital Gateway Foundation should all combine to build the ultimate Space Colony
Go Sierra Space !
lmfao, what is next weeks animated video going to be? "Blue Origin sending first commercial warp drive spacecraft to Andromeda" ??
New Glenn: Doesn't work BO: *Sues New Glenn*
The next iteration of BO carnival ride. It is like the whoa belly ride at the amusement park. "At the low cost of 60 million dollars per month, this will allow us to keep our lawyers working against Space-X".. let's go! lol..btw... many of those renders look like Space-X rockets.
I love how Blue origin turned into a joke :)
your life is a joke
@@ro-padre8346 You work for Blue Origin’s Social Media department.
@@idleeric8556 ah yes because i dont hate on every other company that isnt spacex blue origin isnt a joke i wanna see you put a human into space since its soo easy and you can laugh about it
