There’s likewise the reality that Blue Origin hasn’t had as numerous high profile launches and they have not really released any rockets into orbit yet.
But if Space X is the cool, pot-smoking rocket business with the cars, then Blue Origin is the rather achiever, driving its science tasks to physics club on the weekend in the back of its Toyota minivan.
