What-if
Calacanis: 5% to 10% of Blue Origin test flights would have been fatal
“Blue Urgent's done 20 some odd flights, two of which went south and probably would have existed resulted in death. So I think five to 10% of Blue Urgent's fight flights would have killed.”

Opinion

Insight

Opinion
Chamath: ULA, Blue Origin, and European launch providers are too inconsistent to rely on
“You can't launch with ULA because they're inconsistent. You can't launch with Blue Origin because they're inconsistent. You can't launch with the Europeans in general because they're inconsistent. SpaceX is the only solution”
