The Architect of New Shepard

It's a cheap way to recognize someone's accomplishments while showing off. The company would have preferred advertising a big Hollywood starts instead, for a $250000 bookings. It's a PR stunt for recruiting...

@@B0tch0 at least Blue Origin recognizes and promotes their Staff work, while in SpaceX, Musk seems to get all the attention and credit for the Team work.

@@RogerM88 if you live on the internet , that's what you're hearing

Out of all the engineers who worked on the project, he's the only one that gets to ride in it. I would say that's a really low probability.

Gary is launching on both a rocket (the PM booster) and spacecraft (the capsule) that he himself helped to design which is probably a first since the only other example I know of is the late Konstantin Feoktistov who, while not responsible for the R-7 rocket, was responsible for designing the Voskhod spacecraft that he flew in.

@@Nowhereman10 I kind of thought that was the case. Thank you for confirming for me. I am going to have to look into Konstantin Feoktistov. I have never come across him in my travels through space history. Thanks for letting me know about him. Have a good one.

You just keep on capitalizing every word. It makes taking your comment seriously so much more likely.

Geez dude calm down

Jeff who?

Blue Origin aren't exploring space. They're building short-duration rollercoasters.

@@matthewpeck4016 99.999% of the people who have ever worked in the space industry have never been in space themselves let alone orbit. They are still space explorers in my opinion. New Shepard gives those people a real chance to get up there even if it only is a brief moment. Also: Don't judge new Shepard by what it does today, think ahead and imagine what it could lead to in the future. You have to start somewhere.

@@matthewpeck4016 New Shepard, even though it only flies to suborbital space can be used to carry and has carried experiments to space and back.

@@matthewpeck4016 come on Matt! I'm sure you'd say the Wright Bros. We're only gliding, not flying, right?

@@KsNewSpace thank you! The expansion of access, even at the suborbital level is pioneering.

Did you order engines from Blue Origin?

JEFF WHO??

What, are you a rat?

😂

Roses are Red, violets are blue, the is sad but true ~Saryus

Roses are red, violets are blue, i ordered my engines 3 years ago and its 2022

Roses are red, where tf are my engines blue

Starship didn't even flown orbital yet, plus not even a final prototype been build yet. Not a surprise if Vulcan Centaur be ready for commercial flights first.

That would require they actually do some work on BE-4

@@DTHRocket They are. They're now firing the dev engines 3 times a week and the first two production flight engines are nearly complete up at Kent. Huntsville for a year was supply BE-4 parts to Kent to get them on track but is now focusing on building their first sets of production engines.

@@Nowhereman10 U huh. Still waiting for BO to fulfil its contract for engines. They've been "testing" them for years, but can't master them or produce them. ULA will believe them when they see them, and they have flown successfully. Gullibility does not create reality, no matter how often repeated.

They already did BE-4 update several weeks ago

LOL

@@LSF17 hey! I’ve seen ur vids!

@@dailyrandomjokes9141 hey wow really? lol

@@LSF17 yeah lol, I literally watched ur SFS Soviet moon landing video yesterday 😂

Because SpaceX wants to make Blue Origin feel special and unique! In reality though… their far from it

Since they have actual results they dont spend time on these marketing videos. Watch some Elon interviews at Starbase (none published by SpaceX) and youll see that every once in a while he appears with a couple engineers to expand on what he misses.

YES!!

New Shepard IS a fully reusable vehicle. The capsule and booster both land, get recovered, and then refurbished. New Shepard 4, the vehicle that Gary Lai is going to fly on, has already flown five consecutive times now.

@@Nowhereman10 Baaaaaaaannnn, nope that is NOT FULLY reusable, unless it can be turn like a jetliner, you are just trying to snow me dude! 🤣🙃🤪

@@TinyHouseHomestead That's no definition that I know of as a requirement for defining reuse. Even Starship/SuperHeavy won't be capable of that.

@@Nowhereman10 you said it yourself, NS is "REFURBISHABLE" not reusable. What is U ignant! 🤣🤪🥸😆😁 Thanks for playin, next! 😁

​@@TinyHouseHomestead You're pretty ignorant, actually. Even aircraft have to undergo checks and some minor refurbishment. They aren't pulling engines or doing anything like that with New Shepard. There's mostly inspections involved and some minor replacement of expended items. So, most of everything on New Shepard vehicles flies again the next mission. And by your "definition", SpaceX's Falcon 9 boosters aren't reusable nor will Starship and SuperHeavy be.

Yeah going up and down is nothing to be excited about. But hey… it’s always incredible to watch

Don't you know the answer? We are all stuck suborbital.

@@KsNewSpace actually we are all stuck grounded

Honestly, i think suborbital tourist market had bigger demand than orbital tourist market, for simple reason. Its cheaper and takes less time, so more millionares can afford it.

There are many space haters who say exactly the same about all space. You're not an inch better than them..

@@KsNewSpace Pipsqueak ride & no more

That's how space tourism works if you didn't notice

@@KsNewSpace Many Clueless poeple don't know that this Amusement park ride can only be purchased by very rich people. It accomplishes nothing to help further space exploration. Get a clue.

@@lasersbee Many clueless people don't know that in order to become cheap it has to first be expensive. However, it's still orders of magnitute cheaper than a ride on SpaceX which costs tens of millions. I don't think you're qualified to assess what furthers space exploration and what doesn't. You're just an internet troll.

Omg nice spelling bro

@@astrospacebit440 is supposed to be wen lol you dont get the joke?

@@Jaiden_floydlive Maybe if you had something funny or original...

Ok I get the joke but you spelled everything wrong

I am from 2130 and Blue Origin is still waiting for it’s BE-4 engines

Wow, what a shitty thing you are. Trolling a video about a guy who's got nothing really to do with BE-4 and who's deservedly getting to enjoy the fruits of long years of hard work.

I mean, that's literaly what space tourism is about lmao Millionares going up and down for some period of time

I Fully agree, and can we have a be-4 update? or just admit its a failure like blue origin is

@@leomainwaring8828 There has been one. And Ars Technica's Eric Berger reports that the first two flight engines are near completion at Kent. Meanwhile, the dev engines are being fired at a rate of 3 times per week.

He designed new shepard and this whole video is new shepard flying. Tf u mean hes been made a pawn? Hes literally gonna fly the rocket he helped design

@@Nowhereman10 Tell that to ULA and Space Force. Throw in a reach-around, too.

@@summerbeemeadow Don't need to, my boy. They already know all of this.

Yes because these advancements have potential to benefit us all. Look how much we have obtained so far thanks to rocket science. Obviously Blue Origin is useless when compared to others and they aren’t the ones leading the charge but at least they somewhat try.

There's already a video where he goes into detail about that. This is about him and how he's going to ride to space on what he designed and built.

This video is not about Gary Lai. This video is all about BO making yet another shiny PR production to try to save their butts. Gary Lai is no doubt a good man who has done good work. It must feel terrible to know that he is being used by BO for their own PR purposes.

@@summerbeemeadow Sure looks like it's about Gary Lai. And why can't Blue, like any other company, make a little bit of PR for themselves in the process?

@@summerbeemeadow Sadly, I know.

Thousands of scientists worldwide have spoken, but you have the real truth. Hmmm.

I like smelling my farts
