Blue echoes

Yesterday SPACE.com ran an article on the revelations regarding Blue Origin’s suborbital vehicle development program that came from its draft environmental assessment. There’s not much here that hasn’t been reported earlier, although Leonard David does get some interesting perspectives from John Garvey, who worked on the DC-X (upon which the New Shepard vehicle appears to be patterned).

Apparently that latest article was enough to convince the New York Post to run an article of its own on Blue Origin. As you might expect, there’s definitely nothing new here that hasn’t been reported elsewhere, but at least the Post thought it worthy of attention—or maybe it was just a slow news week.
