I am still awed by rocket touch downs. So great to see! Thanks for the video.

Quite a long hover for such a bouncy landing

The Japanese have got major resolution problems. When watching The New Shepard on Japanese TV it is so pixelated you can't see it.

Good work, if there are any Blue Origin engineers in the audience, I take my hat off to you all.

Why on earth are they showing feet and mps

1:20 "Look at her go".
I'm confused!

People comparing this unfavorably to SpaceX probably weren't alive when landing and reusing a booster was considered an impossible dream. This launch and recovery was amazing, and will give SpaceX some competition so both will benefit.

[MJer]

Amazing engineering but it looks like a toy compared to what SpaceX is putting up. I’ll be impressed when New Glenn is launched.

What happened, I fell asleep during the

Drone-cam-perspective at takeoff is very cool. Too bad it can't keep pace!

[Zonker]

I must have missed the retros firing... seemed a hard landing.

[WMPEXFBTLZYH]

Yesss!!! Awesome stuff! God Speed Blue Origin!! 😍

[xtceeee]

The touch down was a bit harsh didn’t see any air cushioning... and it rotates too much on the descent could make passengers dizzy

So paying customers by the end of 2019? Impressively clean burning rocket.

[jdg]

Nice flight... But might need to tweak around the UI of this video. It looks ugly... and mph? seriously you need to go metric.

Que madrazo se dio la capsula, , jeje, a tomar la delantera Bezos.

[JustShortOf]

Like a really expensive arcade ride.  I think it would be worth it but I will never be able to retire after taking that ride!

Hi 👋 that was cool take of and landing keep up the good work ❤️🇬🇧David

[CocoaBeachLiving]

Beautiful launch and landing. Yet I don't think most people watching this video will be able to come up with the ticket price to go, at least for the foreseeable future.. But hey, it's a start, something for our grandchildren I'm guessing.. At least things are moving forward 👍😊
