Bezos' rocket looks like Dr. Evil's rocket from Austin Powers (without the "external tanks").

Next: SpaceX's launch of the first fully reusable orbital booster, Starship/Super Heavy, expected later this year. The first static fire test of Super Heavy was conducted yesterday [image], and the launch/recovery tower is under construction at SpaceX's launch facility in Boca Chica, TX.

Landing the Blue Origin suborbital booster is not as challenging as landing the orbital boosters SpaceX does, because of the lower speeds involved. As a result, Blue Origin's space tourism rocket can launch and land in almost the same place.

@KCSooner4Trump Blue Origin has apparently pre-sold a lot of tickets, so their challenge will be to get their operational tempo geared up, now that they've had their first successful passenger flight.
