    Are Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic anything more than space tourism companies?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Watched a bit of the live stream.

        Am I the only one who thinks that this rocket looks like something else?

              The talking head said that the "astronauts" are not wearing helmets because Blue Origin wants to give their customers the optimal space experience.

              Customers...

                @george-k To be fair, isn't this where you add your "and you wear a helmet, why?" comment?

                BTW... Shatner is 90? Wow.

                            So far so good. Is it too demanding of me to expect a nice HD live stream from within the capsule?
