 Quoting: OldCar


how? and about what?
 Quoting: T-Man


about the ease of the flights they take and the design of the space craft.
 Quoting: OldCar


It's a sub orbital vehicle, it's not designed to orbit earth, dock with another vehicle, etc, it's just designed to take passengers up and down on a brief suborbital flight.

Re: Blue Origin Launch Webcast
No video from inside the cabin.. wtf?
 Quoting: JimmyBones


They had the oldest person to ever reach space on board. Probably didn't want live video of that in case she had a sudden health issue from the excitement.
 Quoting: Astromut


But wouldn't they still film it on the off chance someone didn't have a damn heart attack? lol
 Quoting: JimmyBones


I think they do have videos but they didn’t want to share it …

Film it, yes, they probably did. Filming doesn't necessitate live streaming it.

 Quoting: OldCar


why do the privateers only go up for a mere minute with no hang time. just up and down.
 Quoting: OldCar


Because it's a suborbital hop. They don't have a large enough rocket to build up the horizontal velocity required to orbit earth and stay in space.
 Quoting: Astromut


do you consider the area they were in to be space?

Re: Blue Origin Launch Webcast
I'm a bit unsure why, but that was rather emotional for me. As a child I was watching when Challenger exploded, I was pretty traumatized and like anything traumatic I blocked it and my love of spaceflight out. This is the first time I've had an interest since then. I guess it was a bit of healing for me, even though NASA has been doing it for years. Strange and unexpected.

This is like a rich mans version of the slingshot ride at a theme park.

An interest in what exactly? This didn't have anything to do with space. This was about as interesting as watching a canon ball be shot.

Nothing of significance was achieved here.

Re: Blue Origin Launch Webcast
So in a span of a couple of weeks we had to rich idiots waste hundreds of millions so they could achieve nothing of importance.

So you can shoot people straight up 60-70 miles and they can come straight down. There's no practical application for this.

Also, if we supposedly sent someone to the moon then this is nothing. It's like we invented the car and got super excited to watch someone ride a bike.

No, the name is New Shepard. It's named for Alan Shepard, the first American to reach space on a similar sub-orbital flight during the Mercury program.

I just don't understand why anyone is excited about this. Send someone to the moon and I'll be excited. The only catch is you have to actually do it for real this time.

Say whatever negative there is to say about them, but they have itched their names as the pioneers of private space flight into history and probably kicked off the true space race .. among private entrepreneur's
