Happy Birthday, Blue Origin!

23 years of mediocrity.

Step by step, timidly.

Why does Bob Smith still have a job? I *want* BO to succeed, but how is that going to happen with Smith at the helm? High turnover, low morale, and little to show for it. There's a reaason why, under his leadership, BO employees refer to the company as "Blue Honeywell."

Depuis l’espace, l’ISS détecte du gaz à effet de serre s’échappant de Blue Origin

"L’entreprise spatiale de Jeff Bezos rejette une grosse quantité de méthane, visible depuis la Station spatiale internationale. Les fusées de la société fonctionnent au gaz naturel liquéfié, soit du méthane presque pur.".

Blue Origin was awarded $34.7 million to develop its in-situ solar cell development technology. The company has demonstrated equipment that uses molten regolith electrolysis to extract iron, silicon, aluminum and oxygen from simulated lunar regolith. A novel process then fabricates solar cells, including cover glass, using only electricity and products from the reactor.

Looks like my favorite program got an award by NASA!

They got $35M to further develop their blue alchemist solar tech!

According to NASA, a technology like Blue Alchemist is considered at a Tipping Point if the agency’s investment can help grow the innovation into a viable commercial solution. Today’s investment will result in a demonstration of autonomous operation in a simulated lunar environment by 2026.

Watching the Challenger doc on Netflix and thinking about how the first civilian in the space program was a wonderful Teacher. Reagan made a big speech about it when he announced a teacher would be selected. Her loss with the crew was devastating. Today all the civilians in the private space launches are rich and famous. It says alot about how our society has changed since 1986.

V upper stages have been built using laser arc welding 🤖. ’s also employs this welding technique. will revert back to gas tungsten arc welding. Bruno says it’s a wider weld which can be more forgiving, even though it is done 🖐️. During a test firing on 📆 June 30 one of the engines exploded 💥 at a testing site.
