More Please 😁 Great to see more openness from Blue Origin, and here's hoping you can achieve the same level of reusability as SpaceX, and steer clear of the Boeing/ULA method of over pricing, over running, and under performing late delivery. Just please stop with the phallic design 🤣
@@thethirdman225 you'll need to provide more detail. SpaceX and ULA / Boeing both compete for commercial and government launches, with cargo, satellite and upcoming human rated launches,... Blue Origin is going to be chasing the same customers. And Rocket Labs is pushing ahead in the Small Sat market.
PiDsMedia Don’t assume that all these launch vehicles are the same in terms of performance. SpaceX and Blue Origin are going to be best suited to LEO. There’s a point beyond which they cannot go in reusable mode and once that line is crossed, they become at least as expensive as ULA per kilogram launched.
Robbie Ryan Lets see what it costs once the inducements stop. I can’t see how they can make a profit on that. Still, it might work out with economies of scale.
@@RogerWilco1 Government? As far as I know Blue Origin is Amazon funded. Jeff Bezos sells stock worth a billion per year to fund BO. SpaceX has the government contracts developing their Dragon spacecrafts and such. Maybe you confused that one.
Like kNews said Jeff Bezos sells his Amazon stock each year to raise a billion dollars per year for Blue Origin. Jeff privately funds his own space program. SpaceX has about $12 billion in contracts and about half of it comes from government agencies. Elon gets more subsidies from the government for his companies.
It's the same approach. It's all Blue Origin's research and technology. You just have Elon Musk's thievery and ego driving spacex to mimic what a real space company should look like. He has yet to develop a single thing in house in SpaceX on their own and they are no closer to a man-safe vehicle system now than they were 5 years ago.
Blue origin needs to keep up, I feel like we should hear more of them than we actually are.. I think in contrast with SpaceX, their videos have a more "branded" feel, whereas SpaceX is that kid in school who doesn't even try to look cool but gets all the attention.
Spacex is not even competing. Without that competition they would still be going at that pace. Starship will already be leagues ahead of anything that flies now, thats far beyond a competitor. They try to get humans to mars. Get blue origin out of here, they would do that just the same.
It was originally scheduled for late 2020, but thanks to the military requirements foisted onto it for the current launch vehicle competition, which includes ULA's Vulcan and NG's Omega rockets, New Glenn, along with the others, were delayed to 2021 to incorporate those requirements.
lol you mean the limits the Earth has put on every rocket in history? (except shuttle but thats literally by definition not a rocket) Also no, the only "competition" to this rocket will be Starship, soo different material but yeah i guess under the massive fins there is the cylinder on starship, because its either that or loose capabilities with any other shape and not be a rocket by definition.
SpaceX or Blue Origin....you have to love the fact that commercial space flight competition even exists today. We are headed in the right direction for a deeply colonized solar system in the far future and it all starts now.
Well I am excited too but one company has been to orbit 11 years ago and the other is looking to do so this or next year. So they are not competing. ULA and SpaceX are competing and BO supplies the engines for the upcoming ULA rocket. However until that one flies I do expect Glenn to launch. Right now its the French, the Russians, the Indians, the Chinese and ULA, Rocket Lab, Northrup-Grumman and SpaceX in the US competing for the global launch market. Blue Origin is looking to enter that market space with a competitive rocket, much more so than anything non-SpaceX. SpaceX however have a technology lead over people who have been launching rockets for 50 years, so that will be tough to catch for anyone. Especially considering most launch providers have unveiled rockets that are looking to compete with 2015 Falcon 9's, already obsolete by SpaceX standards.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l SpaceX and Blue Origin are competitors. Apparently you do not follow Elon Musk on Twitter. And i did not need your rundown of your basic knowledge on the history of space company relations with one another. I work in the aerospace industry and probably know twice what you know.

@@ajamesarellano new shiny armor is more effective then rusty knights armor, knights would often maintain their equipment because rusted metal is significantly weaker and creates friction in joints, having dents also means you get hit a lot, what elon is doing is getting crossbows (cheap effective anti armor) to shoot at knights (expensive outdated rockets) with, not as glamorous but the point is to get the job done.
I'm curious to the results of the pressure tests though :-) Don't get me wrong, I am neutral between you and SpaceX, but they have been showing that making such large tanks that can take great pressure is a lot more difficult than making small tanks that can take the same pressure.
Notice that starship rings have no structural grid(wich all other large rockets had, come on Elon, if vessel is reusable, adding bit more to manufacturing time isn't that bad)
@@squdardt.9719 Yeah they got ti to 8.5 bar and thats just with 301 stainless steel. They haven't even started using the much stronger special 30X Steel alloy that Spacex developed. Elon says they will start using that around SN5 and up.
I doubt they are intentionally trying to shade SpaceX, but making sure your welds are strong enough is obviously a very important step in building anything.

@@thethirdman225 you'll need to provide more detail. SpaceX and ULA / Boeing both compete for commercial and government launches, with cargo, satellite and upcoming human rated launches,... Blue Origin is going to be chasing the same customers.
And Rocket Labs is pushing ahead in the Small Sat market.
PiDsMedia Don’t assume that all these launch vehicles are the same in terms of performance. SpaceX and Blue Origin are going to be best suited to LEO. There’s a point beyond which they cannot go in reusable mode and once that line is crossed, they become at least as expensive as ULA per kilogram launched.
@@thethirdman225 FH has enough Delta V in reusable mode for Further than LEO for only $117m (Qouted price for Psyche mission)
Robbie Ryan Lets see what it costs once the inducements stop. I can’t see how they can make a profit on that. Still, it might work out with economies of scale.
For anyone complaining that “This is taking forever!”
Lemme ask you,
Have you ever tried to build a flying skyscraper?
Elon tries to actually build one lul
The SpaceX Starship will be in orbit or circling the Moon before New Glenn is even shown to the public -- IF it actually exists ??
I am sooooooooooo excited to see this rocket fly, I dont care if I have to wait another 20 years, I'm gonna be cheering the loudest when it happens
Blue Origin inspires me to preserve, start small, and grow slowly. The tortoise always wins. God speed, Blue Origin
Genesis1G the tortoise? They’re blowing a billion a year in money thanks to government intervention. They’re corrupt.
@@RogerWilco1 Government? As far as I know Blue Origin is Amazon funded. Jeff Bezos sells stock worth a billion per year to fund BO. SpaceX has the government contracts developing their Dragon spacecrafts and such. Maybe you confused that one.
Like kNews said Jeff Bezos sells his Amazon stock each year to raise a billion dollars per year for Blue Origin. Jeff privately funds his own space program. SpaceX has about $12 billion in contracts and about half of it comes from government agencies. Elon gets more subsidies from the government for his companies.
@@MrH786 Is SpaceX not supposed to get paid for all the missions it completes? You make no sense...
Agreed that is going to be an amazing ship, second to starship though but still amazing!
Makes you start thinking about the monster that New Armstrong will be.
Can't wait
Nice video, but when do we see the progress? We hear, not much of that. We expect more info, of the New Glenn. Progress Besos!
More, longer videos please.
Why does he have a roku remote at 0:45?
Great, want to see it fly.
cool!
How long does it take blue origin to start producing rockets from steel?
Good heavens! Blue Origin must have hired a media manager :)
how drastically differentiate approaches of Blue origin and SpaceX.. and only time will tell whats more efficient
It's the same approach. It's all Blue Origin's research and technology. You just have Elon Musk's thievery and ego driving spacex to mimic what a real space company should look like. He has yet to develop a single thing in house in SpaceX on their own and they are no closer to a man-safe vehicle system now than they were 5 years ago.
❤❤❤❤❤
There's a big lifting rocket space race incoming
What's the material of New Glen rocket? Is it carbon composite or stainless steel like Starship?
Aluminum like most rockets
So where are all the people? I mean the facility on the video looks very clean and high-tech etc, but it looks so empty!
Blue origin needs to keep up, I feel like we should hear more of them than we actually are.. I think in contrast with SpaceX, their videos have a more "branded" feel, whereas SpaceX is that kid in school who doesn't even try to look cool but gets all the attention.
What are the tanks made of ?
Such radical difference in approaches of BVO vs Space X. fun times to be alive.
Really looking forward some healthy competition between you and SpaceX, competition drives innovation and cost reduction! Can't wait.
Spacex is not even competing. Without that competition they would still be going at that pace. Starship will already be leagues ahead of anything that flies now, thats far beyond a competitor. They try to get humans to mars. Get blue origin out of here, they would do that just the same.
How long till an actual flight?
Scheduled for 2021, but as always with rocketry I would expect delays.
Test flight this year?
More updates please!
finally!!!!
Wheres the rest of the rocket????
That's some large scale friction welding please show us how you do it!
Go to "Smarter every day" channel. You can see there how ULA does that process for delta rockets.
@@TheKwiatek Awesome, thankyou.
what is a orbital launch director?
With all the SpaceX news, it's easy to forget that Blue Origin is quietly plodding along in the corner with New Glenn
When will it fly? 😉
🎶 Somedayyy...
November 3rd 2037
Late 2020 or somewhere in 2021
It was originally scheduled for late 2020, but thanks to the military requirements foisted onto it for the current launch vehicle competition, which includes ULA's Vulcan and NG's Omega rockets, New Glenn, along with the others, were delayed to 2021 to incorporate those requirements.
Same materials and basic shape as the competition.
Looks like making rockets is all about making large tanks that are light and space-proof.
Basically. The real tipping point is usually the engines, cost (materials) and now that Spacex is here reusablility
lol you mean the limits the Earth has put on every rocket in history? (except shuttle but thats literally by definition not a rocket)
Also no, the only "competition" to this rocket will be Starship, soo different material but yeah i guess under the massive fins there is the cylinder on starship, because its either that or loose capabilities with any other shape and not be a rocket by definition.
Show more more often Please
18 months later and Blue origin is still making the first tank section.
Here's some free advice to help with production, employ engineers not lawyers.
Is Blue Origin going to be the Alterra of space companies? XD
SpaceX -> Xilinx and Blue Origin -> Altera :P :P :P
Looks expensive. How much to build a fleet?
Ok, steel rings, bulk heads, looks familiar?
Gotta love competition between SpaceX and Blue Origin.
Great that Blue Origin is sharing their updates. They seem so cautious compared with SpaceX that I wonder if they can develop faster?
3 people working on it... where are the workers?
SpaceX or Blue Origin....you have to love the fact that commercial space flight competition even exists today. We are headed in the right direction for a deeply colonized solar system in the far future and it all starts now.
Well I am excited too but one company has been to orbit 11 years ago and the other is looking to do so this or next year. So they are not competing. ULA and SpaceX are competing and BO supplies the engines for the upcoming ULA rocket. However until that one flies I do expect Glenn to launch. Right now its the French, the Russians, the Indians, the Chinese and ULA, Rocket Lab, Northrup-Grumman and SpaceX in the US competing for the global launch market. Blue Origin is looking to enter that market space with a competitive rocket, much more so than anything non-SpaceX. SpaceX however have a technology lead over people who have been launching rockets for 50 years, so that will be tough to catch for anyone. Especially considering most launch providers have unveiled rockets that are looking to compete with 2015 Falcon 9's, already obsolete by SpaceX standards.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l SpaceX and Blue Origin are competitors. Apparently you do not follow Elon Musk on Twitter. And i did not need your rundown of your basic knowledge on the history of space company relations with one another. I work in the aerospace industry and probably know twice what you know.
@@TheSuaveSavant Well Im sorry to have offended you. I do remember the old days when people where just glad to find anyone to talk space. These days its all fuck off with your boring ramblings about turbopumps nobody cares. And everybody has to know more... Whatever happened to curiosity and politeness. A normal way to respond would have been to say, you knew all that and counter my random facts with something much more obscure. Now that would have been a nice conversation but oh well... it is the internet. In case you do actually work in aerospace, well thanks for your service. I hope to join the ranks when uni is done someday. But Im sure you have some smartass comment about how I wont graduate or something. (Sorry the apostrophe key is fucked)
Elon: We're gonna have better weldings! We're gonna have a big factory!
Jeff: Look at my welding machines! Look at my shiny new factory!
Elon: "actually puts something in orbit"
I mean that's fair.
@@ajamesarellano new shiny armor is more effective then rusty knights armor, knights would often maintain their equipment because rusted metal is significantly weaker and creates friction in joints, having dents also means you get hit a lot, what elon is doing is getting crossbows (cheap effective anti armor) to shoot at knights (expensive outdated rockets) with, not as glamorous but the point is to get the job done.
@@ajamesarellano Starship's armor wasn't strong enough. New Glenn's armor hasn't been tested yet. But its smiths have the finest equipment and tools.
@@ajamesarellano That has to be one of the dumbest and most illogical saying's I've read yet, but hey, you tried.
If I could buy a stock in this company I would. Step by step, long term finance checks out. Ready when they are ready.
I'm curious to the results of the pressure tests though :-)
Don't get me wrong, I am neutral between you and SpaceX, but they have been showing that making such large tanks that can take great pressure is a lot more difficult than making small tanks that can take the same pressure.
Notice that starship rings have no structural grid(wich all other large rockets had, come on Elon, if vessel is reusable, adding bit more to manufacturing time isn't that bad)
Mikicat Idk man, it can withstand more than the needed pressure. And that what’s important right?
@@squdardt.9719 Target pressure is 8.5. To be sure it won't rupture, it woudl be nice to get 110% of that.
@@_mikolaj_ Isn't it 6 bar that is required? They got to 8.5 bar. so that is pretty good for early testing.
@@squdardt.9719 Yeah they got ti to 8.5 bar and thats just with 301 stainless steel. They haven't even started using the much stronger special 30X Steel alloy that Spacex developed. Elon says they will start using that around SN5 and up.
It's almost like Blue Origin is telling Bocca Chica how to do welds.
I doubt they are intentionally trying to shade SpaceX, but making sure your welds are strong enough is obviously a very important step in building anything.
That will be funny for an amateur rocket like blue origin to teach an established company like SpaceX how to weld rockets, with orbital class rockets.
@@mab0738 Definitely. SpaceX kicks butts across the entire field and like most, am a huge fan of their F9 and FH Family of vehicles. Just really not impressed with the water towers.
@@mglmouser I'm very fascinated by them. Only this radical approach can we finally move forward.
mglmouser i am impressed in flying silos
Ahhhhh friction stir welding. I’ve heard that a nice method to weld metals.
A year later and still no tanks to show off
