Talk:Blue Origin NS-16

Comments
How can they fly on a similar trajectory when they're launching from Van Horn, while Freedom and Friendship 7 launched from Cape Kennedy? Perhaps a suborbital trajectory is meant, but New Shepard doesn't fly as high as the Mercury, reaching "only" 75 mi (120 km) in apogee at most while the Mercury could reach up to 125 mi (200 km). 213.142.96.67 (talk) 05:35, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Notability
Is the youngest person to ever go to space notable, i.e. deserves its own article ? Hektor (talk) 15:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Terminology
Why are the passengers of Virgin Galactic called passengers (see Virgin Galactic Unity 22) while the ones of Blue Origin are called tourists? 2001:983:2ED1:1:75FD:8D69:CCC3:A378 (talk) 15:49, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The ones on Unity 22 were employees of VG working on the spaceflight to test the functionalilty, while the ones on NS-16, except for CEO Bezos, were not employees. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 04:46, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
