I will go out on a limb and say that Jeff Bezos may not be able to charge as much as he has been for a ride on a Blue Origin rocket.
His space program was dealt a bit of a setback on Monday.
About one minute after launch, the rocket exploded, leaving his launch team speechless for about a minute while they assessed what had happened.
Delays…
The launch had already been delayed due to bad weather.
When it finally went off, his team was clearly stunned by what they saw.
The launch started fine, but about a minute in, the lower rocket burst into flames…
The only solace that Bezos had was that the safety measure to protect the capsule that holds either cargo or people worked perfectly.
As the rocket ignited, the safety measure ejected the capsule, they deployed the chutes to allow the capsule to return to the surface unharmed.
If you watched the video until the end, this was clearly the narrative his team would push after his failed launch.
Regardless, now that people have seen a Bezos rocket explode, I imagine the excitement to sit on the rocket while it pushed them into space may not be so high any longer.
