BO seems to strike me as the type that waits until they have all of their cards in line before showing their hand. Unlike SpaceX, which does so much work outside that you can follow almost everything they're doing with telephoto lenses, Blue Origin does more work indoors with the doors closed - but, that doesn't mean that they're just sitting on their hands and doing nothing. Definitely keep an eye out for them - I have a feeling that they have a ton of stuff going on behind the scenes that simply hasn't been made public yet; when they eventually do go public, it'll likely end up catching a lot of people off guard, with them saying "Woah, where the hell did that come from??"
I loved your beard JACK!!! I was shocked seeing you and hard to believe it's you, I'll miss your old look a lot! You kept your promise for not shaving it until Starship test flight. Great job
Lookin good Jack! Also, these videos are fantastic, really loving the format and production quality. I just rewatched this one a couple times to absorb all the info in it, and you guys all do a great job presenting it.
Another great round up of the various facilities. And the designer stubble look is great on Jack. Thank god that thing flew. I thought we were gonna lose him for good! 👊🏼
IF they do this, they should Preface that Pads south of SLC-36 (like old Thor/Delta LC-17) are discontinued. In other words, will no longer host rockets. Then Start with Missile Row with SLC-36 and move North to SLC-20 LC-34 will like remain Apollo 1 memorial. Then LC-37, which will be ready for re-development / lease by 2025. == Old USAF ITL (plenty of details) with SpaceX at 40 and ULA at 41.
Wow Blue is actually doing something big finally! Maybe seeing startship actually launch was a wake-up call? Either way I had a good chuckle on the "rapid development" of JARVIS that has simply seen a tank moving around for at least a year now. Hopefully we something like a real rocket launch (that actualyl achieves orbit) from them soon! Great vid as always!
Great job all y'all!! Really kicking up the production quality!! Loved the variety of host! ps. Still jazzed about Starship launch. I just keep watching the launch over and over. Wen next!? Lol
Meta comment: nice intro and segments, folks, wow! I know it probably feels funny to follow 'newsroom, field piece' kind of format on youtube -- and you guys acknowledge it, tongue in cheek, with your mannerisms and cheesy promos and so on -- but it makes a huge difference! It's *very* helpful for the viewers! Keep it up. :)
Agree, couldn’t care less about BO since nobody gets to know anything about them. Will probably see another 100+ falcon launches and a bunch of starship launches before BO reveal anything
Nice to see the talking heads occasionally to put a face to the voice, but mostly it's about the content. Nice mix of all parts. You have some obviously very talented people in the team, I particularly like the international and positive vibe of the channels content...
New Glenn's initial conception will be catching up to Falcon Heavy, but Jarvis (if it pans out) will be able to make it jump into competition with Starship since it would make the system fully reusable as well
@@thomashayden804 With a fully reusable second stage the payload capacity would be minimal. This is why Starship and its booster are so large because to get a reasonable payload on a fully reusable rocket needs larger scale. The extra weight of landing fuel, heat shield and sea level engines leaves very little left for payload on a rocket with New Glenn's takeoff thrust. You don't need to go as big as Starship but you need to be significantly larger than New Glenn.
SpaceX skipped the Saturn C-3 class rocket, once Jeff Bezos announced it 7+ years ago. Von Braun’s Saturn C-3 was ~7m diameter with Falcon Heavy LEO lift capacity Elon first aimed for the NOVA size (12 m diameter), like the Saturn C-8 design, BUT he scaled that design back - once he realized the logistics $$ (expensive) for a vehicle of that size. You either use barges or build at the Cape. - He settled on the 9m Starship size, a meter thinner than Saturn V, and the smallest to realize his goals.
@@rogerphelps9939 Well look what glaciers accomplish. But also its wrong, they have kicked it up to a normal space companies progress over the last year or so. Over the entire context sure, they have barely done anything at all, being a space company for over 20 years without achieving orbit a single time.
Another great flyover video keeping us up to date on the happening around Florida. Thanks for making sure all us Space Nerds get our fix on what has, or in some cases, has not been going on over in Florida. And, as a now beardless Jack would say, be excellent to each other.
Firefly at SLC-20 Major changes in orientation, new launch pad and its trench facing East. Old pad and Trench being filled in, and where fuel tank farm looks to be located.
The amount of money going into this must be incredible with no guarantee of success. I hope all GO well, and I would love to be a part of it one day I would love to go to the moon 50+ years ago I watched 2001 A Space Odyssey that what made me love space.
Only reacting to the first part. But spacex just launched the largest rocket in history and are working out flaws so it would make sense for them to be quiet for awhile

The man actually did it. He didn't shave until the orbital test flight.
For real? Is that the reason for the epic beard?
@@slaphappyduplenty2436 yup.
I truly didn't recognize him
That alone was worth all of the damage to the OLM! ;)
He looks like a different man…but better
Blue Origin finally picked up the pace and wait to read the positive comments about them, but everyone noticed Jack shaved, so.... :D
Respectfully, no; Bezos has always known how to build facilities. He’ll have ‘picked up the pace’ when he flies something- anything- to orbit.
@@dphuntsman all progress is good progress. It’s great to see them taking steps in the right direction towards their first orbital flight!

I have it on good authority Jack lost the beard by standing too close to the launch mount during the test flight.
Superheavy launch was so destructive it blasted off our guy's beard!
RIP Jack's beard.
I loved your beard JACK!!! I was shocked seeing you and hard to believe it's you, I'll miss your old look a lot! You kept your promise for not shaving it until Starship test flight. Great job

Love that MOVA is a sponsor now - the globes are awesome and definitely a conversation starter!
WHERE BEARD?
Orbital flight test happened.
Another great round up of the various facilities.
And the designer stubble look is great on Jack. Thank god that thing flew. I thought we were gonna lose him for good! 👊🏼
No shave until next orbital starship? Deal?
Funny you should mention access restrictions. It never ceases to amaze me how close anyone can wander to around the launch mount at Starbase.
I usually skip ads, but that ad and acting was funny and amazing as heck!
Can you do a video talking about the different launch pads at the Cape and who owns them? They get too confusing sometimes 😅

By Odin's beard! Who the heck has commandeered Beyer's disembodied voice?!
Jack´s knowledge just dropped by about 69.420%
THE SHEEP HAS BEEN SHARED... ??? WOW... Nice look Jack!
Now I think i am in love😁
Jack you look AWESOME!!!!
Always wanted to see the real person behind the beard.
I love the scrappy way space x builds rockets when everyone else has like hermetically sealed labs and such

Wow Jack. A great beard it was. This new look is great too
Blue Origin has gotta do something before i trust them lol
Agree, couldn’t care less about BO since nobody gets to know anything about them. Will probably see another 100+ falcon launches and a bunch of starship launches before BO reveal anything
😮 He really did it. Jack, the beard, the legend..... gone...
New Jack. Welcome back
Can't believe you shared ☺! Looks Good Bro, almost didn't recognize you 😁👍
"SHAVED"
WOW !!!! Can't believe You SHAVED !!! 😎
Who is this stranger that sounds like Uncle Jack? 🤔
Great to see your face again Jack!
Great video guys! NSF is truly the Kings of spaceflight coverage!!! Keep killing it!
Nice to see the talking heads occasionally to put a face to the voice, but mostly it's about the content. Nice mix of all parts. You have some obviously very talented people in the team, I particularly like the international and positive vibe of the channels content...
Like the new format for your updates. Thanks for all the information you provide.
Brilliant updates, thanks NSF team.
That's freaking crazy I literally was just thinking about the progress over at the cape. And then y'all hit us with this gem nice well thank you!
love the SpaceX coverage and love hearing space news in general.
Very well done. By the by, I like the new look.
really enjoy this video format.
I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw the Blue Origin tank in the thumbnail. Would love to see New Glenn fly soon.
Love this format! Very informative and professional.
Blue Origin is working to catch up with Falcon Heavy, not Starship. That said, I really wish them the best of luck. More rockets better
Can't believe Falcon Heavy's first launch was over 5 years ago.
New Glenn's initial conception will be catching up to Falcon Heavy, but Jarvis (if it pans out) will be able to make it jump into competition with Starship since it would make the system fully reusable as well

You don't need to go as big as Starship but you need to be significantly larger than New Glenn.
BO can't even catch up with one piece of Falcon 9
SpaceX skipped the Saturn C-3 class rocket, once Jeff Bezos announced it 7+ years ago.

😮 we need before and during and after pictures
Thank heavens it's a Narrated video
Jack looks so different shaved.
But great video again everyone
Good to see Blue making some more moves.
Not really. Just glacial progress.
@@rogerphelps9939 Well look what glaciers accomplish.

There's a man behind the beard !! Woohoo !
More steel tank watching? Count me in!

Jack looks GREAT with a shaved beard!
Thank you NSF!!!
The beard has left the pad
I was so shocked at seeing Jack Beyer with a newly trimmed beard I couldn't pay attention to the video the first time around.
Yes, I really liked this format for your Wrapup
Wow Jack cut his beard. Looking sharp my man.
Wow I'd actually forgotten what jack looked like without the beard
I actually thought selling the concrete lumps as souvenirs would be a great way to clear the site.
About time Jack.......looking much better
NSF = Newly Shaven Face
Much better, dude!
Thank you Jack. The almost shaved beard is much more professional. Attractive even. Well done.
A great review guys, loving the format change.
Absolutely chintastic 👍
This is great. So much information. I love it.
Great update,thanks guys!❣️
Good presentation Ryan
Damn, starship was so powerful it blew off Jacks beard!
Woah, Jack is starting to grow a beard!
Who is that non-bearded man? Sound like Jack but it can’t be!
Aaaah!! Naked Jack!!!!!😂
Wow, almost didn't know you Jack! You DID shave...I really didn't believe you would.
"NOT THE BEARD!" - Gimli
Jack u shaved your beard 😢😢
Love the new haircut Ryan
I am so glad to see a Rough but much needed shave/clip
😀
The beard!!
Love your new beard!
great again, thanks
Firefly at SLC-20
Major changes in orientation, new launch pad and its trench facing East.
Old pad and Trench being filled in, and where fuel tank farm looks to be located.
The foundation for any building is the ground it is built upon. Footings go into the foundation, then the structure atop that.
Awesome updates!
The amount of money going into this must be incredible with no guarantee of success. I hope all GO well, and I would love to be a part of it one day I would love to go to the moon 50+ years ago I watched 2001 A Space Odyssey that what made me love space.

I had the idea of using the VAB as a hangar for Starship and Superheavy over a year ago.
Jack looking like a younger Lewis Litt from Suits
Shaved Jack is just too cursed
Brilliant video guys
SHAVED THE BEARD! YEAH!
Unfortunatley LC49 will likely close Playalinda Beach.
The beard man!!! 😁
KSC should finally start building the other LC39 pads that were originally envisioned in the 1960s. One pad was cancelled and two more were planned.
Yes, they should have built another LC39 pad to put the Starship tower, instead of where it is now....
yes, kerbal space centre really does need more pads :)
he did it he actually did it
9:43 I hope that's not black mold in the panel behind you.
Im gonna throw in a hot take.
When it comes to development, even if less ambitious, NG did catch up to starship.
I went to see this MOVA globe because I thought it was cool. starting price $500 (8 inch).......good lord!!!!!!!!!!!
I genuinely forgot what jack's face really looked like.
I hear audio issues during Adrian's voice overs. One example here, just for reference: 1:10
wait, what ... who is this imposter
I prefer Jack with the large beard.
