"When discussing Blue Origin, it's almost impossible not to compare the company to SpaceX, which also has a prominent billionaire founder, Elon Musk. Bezos' comments about being decisive are striking because that is one of the secrets to SpaceX's success."

It seems like Blue has made so little progress toward their stated goal of "millions of people living and working in space", and it's weird to me how little he seems to focus on that anymore. Show a timeline with New Glenn flying [Blue Crew?] to Orbital Reef, then more Reefs and a moon base, then orbital rings, then...

It'll take some work to undo Bob Smith's bureaucracy and speed up their development, contracting, and "decision making".
