    Keith, any takes on the Verge article about Blue Origin insisting engineers fly to Van Horn from Kent to conduct the NS test flight?

      That’s been reported by several media sources. The details of the reports differ somewhat, and they come from anonymous employees who attended a meeting which discussed staffing for the next flight of New Shepard (presumably among other things.) I haven’t seen a clear response from Blue Origin about these reports.

        I’m only familiar with The Verge article – I think Ars and Geekwire basically linked to that. Am I missing a report?
