I just want more access to space. Starliner flying will free up Dragons to do more free flyers and go to private stations, like, hopefully, Vast.

I'm greedy. I want crewed Dreamchaser, Gaganyaan, Blue Capsule (name?), Radian One...

Crewed Dreamchaser would be awesome! One can dream, I suppose...

Blue Capsule

Are Blue Origin working on any crewed vehicles beyond New Shepard and HLS?

Radian One

Wasn't aware of this one. I'll happily eat my hat if anyone makes an SSTO vehicle with a useful payload fraction before 2050, but I'm glad people are working on it!

Blue has been hiring to build an orbital crew capsule. I don't think they've announced anything about it, though.

Regarding Radian, they're so out there, but I love to see people trying cool new things.
