The Journey of NS-20

Is Gary working on New Glenn?

THAT I can wholeheartedly agree with.

@@chadwickwood9843 He is, yes. He also worked on Blue Moon. I'm not sure that either of those projects were really "his baby" in the way that New Shepard was, but he is Chief Architect at Blue Origin and he touches most everything they do.

Finally, Bezos got humbled to buy him a ticket

Blue Origin

They are considered a commercial astronaut

these guys are the payload. No more no less.. i would be ashamed to call myself "captain" or "pilot" only because i was once sitting in a plane. what a joke...

How are they a payload if they aren't in Orbit

They are COMMERCIAL ASTRONAUTS!

@@astrospacebit440 I like this phrase "Commercial Astronaut" ... it communicates that they are pioneers in opening spaceflight for private citizens.

Something that few people can say they have ever done…it’s not silly it’s the experience of a lifetime.

When yo broke azz can afford it

Sfs united space Wow! I think you are the first person ever to make that joke........

It's a fancy roller coaster ride, plain and simple. Good luck tho to the riders. Looks like fun.

SpaceX had a similar sized rocket, the Falcon 1. After 5 flights they moved on to Falcon 9. Then Falcon Heavy. Now StarShip. All this despite greater initial investment into Blue. Not sure how a sounding rocket 8 years late is a big step forward. Blue STILL has not delivered a flight-ready engine to ULA nor have they reached orbit themselves. ULA is ready to test and integrate the engines then launch Vulcan. Instead, they are twiddling their thumbs and expending the last of the Atlas V's and Delta IV's. And still, BILLIONS invested hasn't produced anything but a few sounding rocket flights. It's a fancy sounding rocket with people on board, but a "big step" it is not.

Thats not spaceflight..

hahaha!! imagine Lockheed Martin building joyrides! Thats like asking smith & wesson to make and sell baby food.

Accessible?! 28million for a ticket is not accessible

i see two possible reasons for showing so little of the reactions: 1. they did delete all 5 minutes worth of epic excitement, tears of joy, big emotions, life changing impressions and commentary. 2. all the good footage is shown,.. the rest was just boredom.

This is one reason why all these "space projects" seem fake to me. Pointless secrecy, unless they have something to hide.

Intelligent Transportation Technologies

They don't stay at space that long

Hahahaha

So true

Mee too.. becomming an astronaut was always beyond reach.. it needed a lifetime worth of work and dedication.. and astronaut was a honorable title. Now everybody can simpmy purchse the title! Thanks amazon :)

wooooo

Xpert dude this is the wrong channel

@@astrospacebit440 we can get excited for things

go space-X !! go nasa !! what a time to be alive !

All space companies are the same with different goals you know

Yeah, they have to, can't pass up those views for marketing, BTW I make space music, LOL.

Or Anything out of it. Fun amusement ride I guess. Tory is surely amused. 😟

and would you call yourself an astronaut after that ?

@@MrWhitenoise404 nope

Tá não rapaahh, tá atrás, tá atrás da NASA.

someone can told me

Bruno knows where they are. They're at Kent being finished up.

@@nowhereman1046 When will the BE-4’s be delivered to the ULA?

@@idleeric8556 The best information we have says that the flight engines may be acceptance test fired next month and then delivered in the June-July time frame. A lot rides on the dev engines at Corn Ranch continuing to do well. A couple weeks back or thereabouts it was reported that a Vulcan full duty firing was completed along with a full engine gimbal test.

@@nowhereman1046 Lol raptor 2 was much much earlier and has better performance, efficiency and costs/production of 1 raptor a day, sadly SpaceX will not sell these engine for competition but BE-4 will be alot expensive and takes alot longer to produce. RIP BE-4, say hello to raptor 2.

How do you look at the entirely of ANY 3 dimensional object at once?!?!?

1. The FAA is the least of the concerns when it comes to space vehicles. 2. From an engineering standpoint, a door that swings outward is a very bad idea. Should the latch fail, the cabin pressure would force the door open. On the other hand, a door that swings inward is held closed by the cabin pressure. 3. The windows of the NS capsule can be ejected and used as emergency escape hatches if necessary. Additionally, these are huge windows!! The NS is an extremely safe vehicle!! Blue Origin has gone way above and beyond what is required of any regulatory body when designing this thing.

lmao, its hard to imagine Elon of all people paying Blue Origin for this amusement ride to the edge of space.

Elon would not only be unimpressed, but he’d also decline the group photo and have a social episode immediately afterward.

He has more important things to do then this ride ;)

@@zacharys41 You make Elon sound very shallow.

@@nowhereman1046 I was just joking around. Obviously, it's impossible for Elon to be a part of a New Shepard flight; I know that. Sorry if you didn't like the joke.

100% agree

I don't think those real astronauts are as elitist as these idiots claim to be. They will be happy that more common people go to experience it.

It's not a competition (spacex) vs (Blue origin) bruh

@@astrospacebit440 I know it isn’t I never said it was a competition

Basically you did over here talking about spaceX Transporter 4 on blue origin Channel

@@astrospacebit440 I was saying that the transporter 4 launch was more interesting, that has nothing to do with competition. I know spacex and blue origin are going for different markets and that these are two completely different types of missions.

I was just assuming because you over here being a elon fan zombie here directly on this channel

Astronauts? Space tourists. What do you think, if Jeff didn’t lock the door good. What you think we are going to see then 😅

Maybe because the customers requested it? Dylan Taylor who flew on NS-19 uploaded the whole experience to his KZhead channel. Go look it up.

@@mikedicenso2778 actually now that you mention it... I'd rather not.

Because they are not astronauts just rich people having an expensive fairground ride to the edge of space

@@Videostufftas What fairground ride goes above 100 km on an actual hydrolox booster and 50 tons of thrust from a rocket? And the definitions of an astronaut was for someone who went above the Karman line. If the FAA hadn't changed it, they'd be getting wings from them as well just as the previous three crews did.

Yes, I do find you very sad.

@@nowhereman1046 That wasn’t what the OP asked. My take was that he thinks that a suborbital flight like this is just a bit sad and pointless and he was curious to know if anyone else felt the same.

All aboard you better shut your damn mouth

Funny how?

these guys calling themself astronauts is a disrespectfull kick in the balls to real astronauts. :( such a shame.,.

Donald duck they are commercial astronauts.

@@astrospacebit440 no. Commercial astronauts are like the Axiom-1 crew launching next week, and last years Inspiration4. They were given flight training, and are spending an extended amount of time in space doing research and experiments etc. These guys from the blue origin flights are just momentary private space tourists. Analogy for a blue origin flight: a first time flying passenger on a plane can't declare themselves a pilot as soon as they take off, lol.

Yes they are.

Not really even jeff BEZOS is considered a commercial astronaut or just a astronaut because he even rode on the new shepherd capsule in space so basically it's called commercial space astronauts wings to some people who flew on private space capsule like blue origin

One one very small engine

But bigger than an entire Electron, Rocket 3.3, Scout, Falcon 1, and so on. And New Glenn when complete will have a 1st stage that will be three times bigger than F9's.

@@nowhereman1046 I should have re phrased. This launch only went to half the altitude that the recent transporter missions 1st stage booster went. (233km) So a dumb booster got a better view of the earth than these rich people. And a longer view.

@@jerichom11x Believe it or not, it wouldn't have gotten much of a better view (you can use geometry to calculate the visible horizon until you see a complete globe), and the people who stepped out at the end seem to all enjoy it.

Because even he is completely bored by this sub orbital stuff now.

And you just denigrated the memory of Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, and several X-15 pilots who all did similar flights to space and back suborbitally.

@@nowhereman1046 phfffff I doubt anyone there has hit Mach or done a 10g turn.

@@swapshots4427 They certainly did on Thursday. And being a fighter pilot is not even a requirement anymore for NASA, so why should it be for them?

Atleast they do it for fun

I'm amazed at how many climate experts have no fucking clue about what you said. If the Earth wasn't capable of regulating itself it would have become like Mars eons ago. We must be judicious stewards of the planet (I don;t think anyone would disagree with that), but we do not need to hamstring ourselves with insane climate change oriented legislation and economic policies. If we do, the only thing that will change is energy will become more expensive, leaving poor people without the ability to travel or heat their homes/cook food, etc.

that guy is a pos if you know his history of using his dead dad of 9/11 as a way to get gigs when he started out, he even amended to it on a old XM radio show how it works so easy to get what he wants when he brings if up to venues and bookers. then he stated on that show that he really have no real vivid memories of his dad and didn't care to.

Yes space

@BRIH TROLL You a flerf? or just a hater?

I like SpaceX
