NASA believed that the Starship is a superior design. A version of the SpaceX Starship won out over the Blue Origin Blue Moon and another design by Dynetics for the first lunar Human Landing System (HLS). SpaceX has a competitive advantage over Blue Origin when it comes to helping NASA return to the moon. It should be noted that Kuiper, Jeff Bezos’ answer to Musk’s Starlink internet satellite constellation, will launch on United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rockets and not on a New Glenn. The planned Blue Origin New Glenn orbital rocket that could compete with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets may have its first launch in late 2022 at the earliest. A several-days’ trip into Earth’s low orbit is more fun than a brief, suborbital jaunt. SpaceX has a number of both NASA and commercial spaceflights lined up, including Inspiration-4, designed to raise money for St. The Crew Dragon has been flying astronauts to and from the ISS for the past year. The Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) flight will take place on a SpaceX Crew Dragon. Meanwhile, Axiom, a company working on a private space station, just closed a deal with NASA to fly four private astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The flight will consist of a hop to just past the edge of space and back. There will be one seat put up for auction. The New Shepard is scheduled to fly on July 20, 2021, with a crew of primarily Blue Origin employees. The news that Blue Origin’s New Shepard would, at long last, fly with passengers was all but drowned out by all the media coverage of Elon Musk and his various doings.
Blue Origin has a suborbital rocket called New Shepard, which is about to be operational, and an orbital rocket called New Glenn in development. It is developing a Starship rocket that promises to revolutionize space travel. SpaceX’s strong competitive advantage over Blue Origin arises from its wealth of flight-proven hardware, including its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and Dragon spacecraft.
