Blue Origin is set to launch their New Shepard rocket to the edge of space with four crew members on board! Jeff Bezos and his brother, Legendary Wally Funk, and 18 year old physics student Oliver Daemen get ready to launch to the edge of space and back. I did my best to cover what I know about Blue Origin in one episode while be honest and pointing out where I am biased. Because if you didn’t already know, we’re pretty big SpaceX fans here. But that can’t stop us from talking about what Blue Origin is doing right and what I wish they would do more of!
the best of luck to the crew tomorrow morning! Here’s to another first in the new space race, here’s to a safe and successful launch of New Shepard!
