Looks like a flawless launch and landing! Go Blue!

Looks like great fun, never did see the capsule use retro thrust just before touchdown, not sure if that was required, vertical velocity was around 17mph when they hit, good little jolt I would imagine.

I didn’t catch any thrust or deceleration in the moment before touchdown.

Max Q at 600 mph? Thats not much speed to stress the vessle. They shouldn't need to call it out cause there never is dynamic pressure on the vessle.
Most rockets slowing down after passing the speed of sound to prevent falling/breaking apart.
I think they wanna sound cool like the real big boys 😊

Time for Blue Origin to up their game. On to New Glenn.

They need to work on getting the rocket to reach closer to zero point landing instead of hovering above the ground for several seconds or more.

Aerospace is more than this, you guys make it looks and seems boring, there are still some updates, when 20 people launch at ones, it is better, with a new tech. I believe me launching my technology on the air and in space won't be this boring.

Canada is getting in my way of making this advancement for humanity with several damages and destruction done intentionally to my technology, my body and my life by Cn Tower, Rogers Centre, Toronto Police, LifeLabs, Uhaul and UHN, making space technology in Canada has been faced by damages and destruction done intentionally by Canadians, I am the proof.

Space is not mere, it is a necessity, when the call to space arrives, every human on earth will know how important it is, there will be rush hours.

I know what is missing and I will ensure it is available in time.

BLUE ORIGIN, keep up the good work, and I thank Jeff Bezos for making this possible early.
