I wish he would get out of his hot tub
and Yacht more often so blue origin can
be more successful that's Elon musk's
faithful advice to his rival musk is a
person who usually shares his feelings
on social networks in contrast Jeff
often remains silent and the thing that
makes me very curious is what he really
thinks about Elon Musk and SpaceX
interestingly in 23 blue origin pushed
many projects to try shocking SpaceX the
following year and everything will be
exposed on today's episode of great
SpaceX when the space race is about to
enter its most important stages
organizations like SpaceX NASA or all
have strong steps right now perhaps
everyone wants to know what another
giant quite silent in 2023 blue origin
will do in 2024 surprisingly a few days
ago Jeff Bezos made many interesting
Revelations to answer those questions in
the licks fridman podcast program during
more than 2 hours of chitchat Jeff baso
shared a lot about aspects like space
exploration the lunar program and his
Amazon company however the focus of
attention is his comments about SpaceX
and Elon Musk as well as his plans for
blue origin regarding SpaceX Jeff Bezos
determined that SpaceX is going to be
successful for sure I want blue origin
to be successful and I hope there are
another you know five companies right
behind us this saying shows the great
ambition of Jeff Bezos he clearly wants
blue origin to accelerate strongly to
surpass many other competitors in the
coming years however he still
understands that surpassing SpaceX will
be an extremely difficult task at this
time that's why bezos's answer showed
respect for his biggest rifle and also
implied that the most feasible goal for
blue origin will be to try to narrow the
Gap in development progress with musk's
company besides the remarks about SpaceX
Bezos also had very respectful things to
say about Elon Musk specifically when
asked about his thoughts about on Elon
Musk as a leader Bezos affirmed that he
must be a very capable leader um there's
no way you could have you know Tesla and
SpaceX without being a capable leader
it's impossible more amusingly when
asked by the podcaster about whether two
billionaires could become close friends
Bezos said I'm not saying we're
identical but I think we're very
like-minded and so I you know I I I love
that idea what do you think about that
reply let me know your thoughts in the
comments section down below it can't be
said that it is rare for us to hear
direct comments from these two famous
persons about each other this is even
more surprising because we all know they
have been Rivals for more than two
decades previously musk also made
comments about Bezos including sincere
advice that he should get out of his hot
tubs and Yachts to focus more on
developing blue origin that advice is
very reasonable because over the years
blue origin's achievements have seemed
to be much inferior to space AIS this
shows that musk also respects his
competitors very much and wants them to
develop together and compete to help the
US Aerospace industry develop more in
his response to musk's advice Bezos also
mentioned blue Origins plans for next
year when asked by the podcaster about
the rate of progress at Blue origin
Bezos frankly admitted blue origin needs
to be much faster and it's one of the
reasons that I left my rle as the CEO of
Amazon uh a couple of years ago I needed
I wanted to come in and um blue origin
needs me right now it can be seen that
Bezos realized the problem with his
company blue origin has been delayed for
many years not only being left Far
Behind by its biggest competitor SpaceX
but also being surpassed by many other
competitors the these replies show that
he and blue origin origin will be very
focused and prepared to create something
extremely unprecedented in 20124 in fact
looking at the 2023 Revelations we can
see that blue origin is really serious
with its plans for the upcoming year
following its return mission on December
19th new Shepherd is poised for
increased activity the setback
experienced last year marked one of the
most challenging periods for the new
Shepherd project since its Inception the
issue encountered in September of 2022
required over a year for repair and
resolution fortunately the recent
Mission concluded successfully setting
the stage for an accelerated push in the
new Shephard program to reintroduce crew
missions this endeavor holds
significance as the suborbital
commercial launch sector faces
significant competition particularly
from Rivals like Virgin Galactic but
blue Origins Focus next year will
certainly be new Glenn this rocket has
been delayed for many years and perhaps
2024 is when it needs to appear
previously in August many images of new
Glenn parts and be4 engines inside blue
origin's Factory were revealed by their
Partners such as NASA and ula in
November another photo was posted on X
from an account named Greg Scott about a
tank inside the tcat building that
probably belonged to new Glenn although
these images did not clearly show new
Glenn specific progress it can be seen
that this rocket is entering the final
stages of prep those Revelations all
show that blue origin is aiming to
launch the First new Glenn flight next
year according to the current schedule
new Glenn will launch NASA's Escapade
spacecraft around August of 2024 this
spacecraft will fly to Mars to conduct
surveys on the environment matter as
well as other factors affecting the
future Mars Landing plans this mission
is extremely important for blue origin
as well as a huge opportunity for them
the successful involvement of new Glenn
in achieving orbit would undoubtedly
send a compelling message to SpaceX and
its Starship program the anticipated
participation of new Glenn in the
Aerospace competition of 2024 is
expected to introduce intriguing
variables to the race this pivotal
Mission could Mark a significant chapter
in the ongoing Aerospace narrative
potentially influencing the direction
and dynamics of the industry but besides
Rockets we will also look forward to the
debut of their be4 engine it'll be
involved in the first mission of ula's
new rocket the Vulcan Centaur the flight
was scheduled for January 8th and it'll
be time to test the capabilities of this
engine after so many years of production
and testing success will be the basis
for this engine to compete strongly with
spacex's raptor moreover blue origin
will also focus more on developing the
blue moon lunar lander which they
revealed the first lunar lander images
back in October this lunar lander will
participate in the arabis 5 Mission to
land Crews on the moon's surface around
2029 this is a crucial mission in Boo's
development process so they will be very
focused and careful for the mission next
year appears to hold a strong Focus for
blue origin particularly in light of
Jeff bezos's recent assertions this
marks a notable Resurgence following a
challenging period their primary
objective will likely revolve around
engaging in Fierce competition with the
longstanding industry leader SpaceX
aiming to redefine their competitive
stance in the field but those goals are
certainly not easy because SpaceX plans
for 2024 are probably much more
formidable than they were in 2023 in
2023 SpaceX aimed high with an ambitious
Target a 100 Missions that kept the
launchpads buzzing with action for the
next year their goals are going to be
even more
insane 144 4 that translates to 12
launches a month for the whole of 2024
and the Falcon 9 it's been a Relentless
Trailblazer and is on the brink of
making history with its 300th launch but
that's not all the Falcon heavy is
revving up for an explosive 2024 posed
to Astound us with draw dropping triple
booster touchdowns and guess what
starship's gearing up for its Cosmic
debut after two test flights it's eyeing
orbit ready to soar and tackle the grand
missions on the horizon the Artemis
program and the Martian Odyssey looking
at those plans we all understand SpaceX
will never stop they'll continuously
develop and it'll be difficult for any
company to compete with them including
blue origin however it can be affirmed
that 2024 will be the year of a very
Fierce competition between Giants in the
Aerospace industry after a year of
SpaceX leading the pack the stage is set
for a competitive comeback Jeff Bezos
and his blue origin team are revving up
ready to unveil their ambitious plans
will they shake up the Space Race share
