Blue Origin

Blue Origin is an American privately-funded aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company set up by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos with its headquarters in Kent, Washington. The company is developing technologies to enable private human access to space with the goal to dramatically lower cost and increase reliability. Blue Origin is employing an incremental approach from suborbital to orbital flight, with each developmental step building on its prior work. The company motto is "Gradatim Ferociter", Latin for "Step by Step, Ferociously". Blue Origin is developing a variety of technologies, with a focus on rocket-powered Vertical Takeoff and Vertical Landing (VTVL) vehicles for access to suborbital and orbital space.[3] The company's name refers to the blue planet, Earth, as the point of origin.

Там ишо куча видоса на ютюбе.

Initially focused on sub-orbital spaceflight, the company has built and flown a testbed of its New Shepard spacecraft design at their Culberson County, Texas facility. The first developmental test flight of the New Shepard was 29 April 2015. The uncrewed vehicle flew to its planned test altitude of more than 93.5 km (307,000 ft) and achieved a top speed of Mach 3 (2,284 mph; 3,675 km/h). Another flight was performed on 23 November 2015. The vehicle went just beyond 100 km (330,000 ft) altitude, and both the space capsule and its rocket booster successfully achieved a soft landing. On 22 January 2016 Blue Origin re-flew the same New Shepard booster that launched and landed vertically in November 2015, demonstrating reuse. This time, New Shepard reached an apogee of 333,582 feet (101.7 km) before both capsule and booster returned to Earth for recovery and reuse.[4] On 2 April and 19 June 2016, the same New Shepard booster flew for its third and fourth flight.

В догонку за флаконом

это еще один аутсорсинг ULA. сейчас клепают корабль для суборбитального туризма. в перспективе - разработка ракеты на метановом BE-4.

А в чем аутсорсинг, кто делал?

т.е., достиг на максимуме скорость в 1км/с и высоты (more than 93.5 km) более 93,5 км! Ужас достижение! Никто никогда выше не летал! А скорость вааще никому более недостижимая!
В чём смысл сей какашки? Взлететь на несколько секунд на 100км ввысь, посмотреть, если удастся, на чёрное небо и ёпнуться в море, если повезёт?
