To satistfy Camacha I have added that Blue Origin was started couple years ago, and that I really couldn't ...... But that some many rich guys are starting rocket companies, and I mean where are all the buyers with this new found competition.

Could you elaborate a little more, rather than just posting a link? A short summary is generally smiled upon and your own view on the matter with your line of reasoning is absolutely essential :)

In other words, what is it that has value according to you, and why is that the case?

Agree! Honestly I don't like posts that consist solely of links! This isn't Reddit >.

Edit, RE Kryten, Blue Origin has an orbital launch program? Last I heard they were only doing Shepard and BE4!

Maybe they are launching suborbital tourists from LC-36 A+B in the future. If they are going to do SpaceX-style 1st stage recovery (likely), I propose Blue Origin to land them at LC-11 or 12. I think it's a good location, being very close to launch site (advantageous b/c rocket most likely will only go straight up into space, as it does not have to go into orbit), having plenty of space for landing, and being empty since the 60's.

The problem with Blue Origin is that you can't really discuss the way the rocket looks. Unless you want to get hit with the banhammer, that is.

Why? Please elaborate.

EDIT: Apparently they are now making orbital launch systems, reusing first stages SpaceX style. I guess the West Texas launch site they have is too small for this stuff.

Suborbital would still work from LC-36, though that's probably not planned from there. Time will tell.
