In past years, Blue Origin also sued to stop SpaceX from using what is now our primary launchpad at 39A and tried to patent landing a rocket on a ship, even though that idea had been around for 70 years ! 🎙️ Elon Musk

Super mega cool! I love having 2 great American companies being successful at launching space rockets! We need them to be great!

I was there! 🚀

Niiiice

I hope they continue to invest in subsystems that enable better cameras and remote streaming for the launches. Documenting these advances is a big thing for the community and is getting a lot of kids interested again in aerospace as a career path

Again, quite the ferocious step you took there guys, Go NG-2!

it go up!
