New Shepard lands on a level concrete pad. Not sure how much relevance that’s going to have to landing on the Moon.

Virgin Galactic’s flights have ended, for now, and may well never resume. But they were of no greater or lesser worth than New Shepard’s elevator rides. And they are not really Branson’s anymore nor have been for awhile. Mr. Virgin This ‘N That cashed out some time ago.

WHY? We need more “astronauts” like those six brave space conquering women! OH, and how many immediately “kissed the ground” upon their long awaited “Return to Earth”??

And learn how to land the capsule and the rocket together. That would be an improvement.

Blue Moon should benefit from these powered landings–about the same size and handling.

Branson’s suborbital jaunts are useless.
