“Sue Origin” epitomizes Elon Musk’s sharp response to recent maneuvers by his arch-rival, Blue Origin. The comment brims with biting sarcasm directed at a company renowned more for its litigious tendencies than for fostering fair competition in the market.
What exactly has Blue Origin done to provoke such outrage from Elon Musk? What drives their actions? Let’s delve into this on today’s episode of Alpha Tech, uncovering the motivations behind these contentious moves!
Recently, Blue Origin, led by Jeff Bezos, filed a fresh lawsuit against Elon Musk’s SpaceX, urging the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for SpaceX’s Starship vehicle at LC-39A in Florida.
Just last week, SpaceX and the FAA collaborated on an environmental study report for future plans involving the colossal Starship rocket. Following approval from both the FAA and NASA, the report is now open for public opinion over the next 45 days.
However, Blue Origin expressed dissatisfaction with this outcome and promptly submitted a scoping commentary outlining their objections.
Their filing strongly emphasizes SpaceX’s proposed actions for Starship.
Starship, a launch system currently in development by SpaceX, comprises the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy booster. Towering taller than the Statue of Liberty, the system has flown only four times, with just two successful flights to space. During a previous launch, it generated heat and pressure equivalent to a volcanic eruption, as described by a physicist, and scattered soil and sand over a nearby town.
Once fully developed and operational, Starship-Super Heavy is poised to become the largest and most powerful launch system on Earth.
According to the filing, the Super Heavy booster has the capacity to carry up to an “unprecedented” 5,200 metric tons of liquid methane for propulsion — a capability that Blue Origin highlighted may create “qualified distances for safety margins” potentially overlapping with operational sites of other companies, government facilities, and public areas.
