I don't get why people are all upset about Blue Origin shutting down their suborbital program
. It's not like they're just gonna leave everyone hanging without a second chance
. I mean, 38 successful flights and landing 36 times is still pretty impressive
, but I guess it was always a money pit
. And honestly, Bezos is basically funding his own space tourism venture out of his pocket
- it's no wonder the program has been bleeding cash
.
But I get why this decision makes sense for Blue Origin
. They're redirecting their resources to focus on their lunar ambitions
, which is a much bigger and more sustainable goal in the long run
. And let's be real, SpaceX is already dominating the space tourism scene
, so it's time for someone else to step up
.
I'm all for innovation and pushing boundaries in space exploration
, but we need to prioritize efficiency and focus over just throwing money at a problem
. It's not about disappointing a few dozen people on New Shepard
, it's about securing the future of space travel and making sure we're not wasting resources
.
