Blue Origin is touting plans for a private space station for research and tourism. I can see a demand for this, especially for countries without a space program who still want to conduct space based micro-gravity experiments. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

This makes no sense to me
The next Blue Origin sub-orbital flight for tourists will take place in October. Given the successful first flight recently, how hard would it be to scale the booster up slightly and achieve orbital flight? It seems like a no brainer thing to do. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger who definitely would want to be on one of these flights.)

Space stuff
ULA and Blue Origin are having trouble delivering engines for their new launch platform.
The Chinese are looking to build a moon lander. Hopefully Elon will get there before them.
A Russian rocket is going to fall out of orbit and burn up. (metaphor alert)
(All links in memory of Mike Nofsinger who would love the crap out of all of this.)

Blue Origin
SpaceX gets all the attention, but Blue Origin is doing some interesting things. Keep and eye on them. It is good to see multiple companies doing this stuff. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)
