It's weird to see such a nice, clean rocket.

Definitely the best landing video I've seen.

Mildly interesting news:
Despite my general lack of enthusiasm for Blue Origin's style, it's nice that they're finally going to fly humans, and having Bezos himself on board will generate plenty of discussion. Maybe someday they'll actually be relevant in the broader landscape of space exploration. |

Good for Bezos. I wonder if the timing has anything to do with his resignation.

I hope they perfect these systems and get the price down so I can get into space before I die.

I didn't catch it live, but aside from being a little off center, the landing looked OK to me. What am I missing?
The crowd reaction was a little odd, too. |
