    Doesn’t Blue Origin’s moon lander require in orbit storage and transfer of hydrogen? If you are worried about SpaceX achieving its goals in time, how comforting could it be knowing that your backup plan relied on Blue Origin to tame hydrogen? Not even Tory Bruno can do that

      Yeah, as soon as Blue Origin changed to refueling, they switched from being a safe backup plan to possibly an even less likely plan A. Even if some people there have worked on crewed vehicles before (Orion? Starliner?) the company has no experience that compares to SpaceX with Dragon.
