It’s live
This one’s even better. Visible transonic transition, huge contrail and flawless landing footage from the booster and the drone ship (I think it was Just Read The Instructions this time). Either the cameras are getting better or the special effects team have upped their game…
Right enough. They’ve got so good at this that it’s become routine.
Indeed this was an awesome watch. The second stage altitude gain was also amazing.

Scott Manley on YouTube did a good roundup on the two flights and why the Virgin Galactic flight is still a space flight despite only aiming for 80 km altitude. Lots of interesting stuff about the Blue Origin flight as well.
I wonder whom is going to clean up the oil spills those Land Rovers left on the runway.

Branson needs to have a word with Musk about borrowing some cameras.
Suborbital is not enormously exciting, but it’s privately funded…again! Blue Origin in 9 days to complete the trifecta.
At least not everything this year has been crappy.

Damn, to spend all that dough to only travel upwards manny manny feet but not a single kilometre. Such a shame, better luck next time whatsisname...
And why use golf commentators to block out the lady that seemed to know what she was talking about?
Do appreciate the post though.

I think it's more of genital measuring contest at this stage (hence the rocket shape). Jeff got the big news station to cover it live where as Richard Branson was more of an online thing.
But at least there is some inovation going on. Thats always a good thing. Twice now in the last 2 weeks people went to space with minimal training. And Blue Origin didn't even have onboard pilots.
We gotta give it to Branson. His spaceship looked more futuristic and landed like an airplane. Can’t Compare it to Besos’ huge suppository and capsule landing with parachutes… but he did it.
