I'm not a hater, just hard to even take Blue Origin seriously in comparison to SpaceX. Musk will be putting feet on Mars and we'll still be reading about all the great things Blue Origin is going to do. Virgin Galactic is going to reach Space before they do.

It'll be really sad if SpaceX flies tourists to orbit before Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic send any tourists on suborbital trips.

Well, SpaceX has a 'tourist' mission planned for this year, and its not very likely to slip much.

I think more stunning than sad. Indicates some serious missteps on Virgin and BO's part.
