I mean, it's not it's hard to be a tech CEO for

15 years and changed with the times.

John Ternes will step into the hot seat on September 1st.

Moving on, don't you just hate it when you put a satellite into the wrong orbit?

Happens to me all the time, and it happened to Blue Origin on Sunday.

The rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos, who knows a thing or two about delivering things, delivered an AST space mobile satellite into the wrong orbit.

The direct-to-sail satellite was supposed to be plopped into orbit about 285 miles above the Earth at an inclination of 49 degrees to the equator.

However, Blue Origin's New Glenn dropped it off at just 95 miles at its closest point, a much lower orbit than scheduled.

AST said that this orbit was, quote, too low to sustain operations and it will de-orbit the spacecraft and recover it under an insurance policy.

The Blue Origin mishap is a reminder that, for all the warm fuzzies Artemis II gave us,

space remains very hard it is not unusual for things like this to go wrong especially for the new rocket the company was using but it will have a number of ripple effects one the mistake won't help blue origin catch up to spacex the reliable and dominant force in the space launch industry plus it could have an impact on future artemis missions remember nasa is relying on spacex and blue origin to produce lunar landers that will take astronauts to the moon's surface in just two years

So any delay in Blue Origin's timeline will delay NASA's timeline too.

It is not close right now.

SpaceX launched more than 160 times in 2025.

Blue Origin launched twice.

And then in terms of this satellite business, SpaceX has 10,000 Starlink satellites up there floating around in orbit.
