It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

I'm a Blue Origin hater, too. They pretend to be an old space prime by buying their way into a market but not having done anything. They don't have the drive, efficiency, or fun redeeming qualities of startups.

For rockets, I would rather see Stoke pull off Nova and Rocket Lab build Neutron.

For space stations, I'm rooting for Vast and Gravitics.

For space tugs, go Impulse.

For moon landers, BO copied SpaceX's homework, so go Intuitive Machines and Astrobotic.

Thanks for the list of alternatives! I was just throwing Blue Origin out there because it's a name other than Space X. I'm honestly not nearly as in-the-loop as I should be on these things.
