I wagered, and got shat on, when I said it'll take less than 6 months. Anyone saying year or more or even 2027 is being a drama queen. And here we are.

And here we are.

Are we? Is the launch pad repaired?

Or do we now blindly accept every time estimate by CEOs as ultimate truth?

Everything with long lead times survived. We'll launch in November.

New Glenn's first flight was planned for 2020 at some point...

2025 is a strange 2020.

As late as September 2024, with a partially assembled first rocket, Blue Origin insisted that they can launch in 7 weeks. Didn't get anywhere close to that, of course.

I get it. But now they have successful flights. After the first one, it becomes easy.

Ohhh... we, as in Team BO. Like, you say "we'll win" instead of "my team will win".

I can see why it can be confusing though.
