I believe he is saying that it is like building something really complex (like a supercomputer decades ago, not what you can build today) and getting all pumped up about completing the simplest goal, without even beginning to tackle the real challenges.

But maybe I misinterpreted.

ps- I would never ride in something that looks like a suppository. It just doesn't look like it has any business flying at all.]]>Jan 4th 2007 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/

Jeff has run the entire thing as a skunk works project, nobody really knew what he was doing. It appears to be that he’s only released this footage so that he can recruit some new people with heavy lifter experience. He’s looking for people with experience with Delta IV or Atlas V. Those aren’t small vehicles. He isn’t in the sub-orbital business like Scaled and Branson, he’s going for an single stage to orbit lifter.

From the looks of things he’s basically up to where NASA and McDonnell Douglas was with the DC-X back in 1993. The Scaled design can’t scale to a craft which can obtain orbit, the Blue Origin design certainly can. That’s big news…]]>Jan 4th 2007 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Although for a serious grin-inducement, I prefer watching the Swiss guy with the carbon fiber wings flying around... :)]]>Jan 4th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/Jan 4th 2007 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/bezos-tests-first-prototype-rocket-not-available-with-one-clic/
