The first major failure of Blue Origin's new heavy-launch system could create delays to its ambition to help NASA and the Trump administration return to the moon.
FWIW Blue Origin and Amazon are not the same, despite the Bezos connection. Blue does have a contract to launch a bunch of Amazon satellites, but so does everyone else with a working rocket (and some without).
Used to deliver. Two small, neighboring cities have a lot of their major streets named the same: chestnut, maple, things like that. Completely different streets, they never came anywhere close to each other. One city used three digit house numbers, the other used four digit numbers.
Very often, I would get sent to places 1234 Maple in Threeland, or 567 Chestnut in Fourville. Addresses that I knew didn’t exist, but the app would still place a pin and expect me to be there.
After a few confusing attempts, I learned that if I tried to deliver to the intended address, I’d get a violation. If I just “delivered” to the GPS pin, I’d get paid.
Surprise…from the same company that delivered my package to the wrong city last month.
