Oh give me a break dude.. There are 3 companies all in a race to do the same things.. It was Spaceship one which was the first private company to put men in space. They were doing great things then one of their space crafts broke up on re entry killing one pilot but amazingly the second one survived the crash.. That was their set back and they have yet to regain their momentum.


Next it was SpaceX.. They have been doing great things and were the first company to attempt a vertical take off and landing. On their first test the rocket crashed on landing. That was their set back but they have come back and become successful on their second try..

Blue Orgin managed to have a successful vertical take off and landing inbetween the first crash of SpaceX and their now successful attempt.

While yes Blue Orgin did manage to sneak in there and do it first successfully.. They have done no where near as much as SpaceX has..


I mean for fucks sake, do you Debbie downers have any idea how many rockets NASA lost just trying to get men into space? What each of these 3 companies have done is pretty fucking astounding by any rights..
