Does anyone remember Blue Origin? What are they even doing for a decade?

  (A decade? Wikipedia says "Founded September 8, 2000".)

  BO is a rich man's hobby, kinda perpetually on-and-off struggling to re-imagine & re-invent itself as an A-list rocket company.

  But Rocket Science Is Hard. And Jeff's maxed-and-buffed stat is Online Retailing.

  He wouldn't be competent at Brain Surgery or Nuclear Physics, either.

  They're launching the EscaPADE Mars mission later this year. Their reusable booster lands vertically. They sell rocket engines to orher companies.

  They hired the same "experienced" people who slowed down NASA, ULA, Boeing, etc.
