President Donald Trump and SpaceX founder Elon Musk are vowing to bring home two NASA astronauts who they say have been wrongly stuck aboard the International Space Station for nearly eight months. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams reached the space station in June and became stuck after the Boeing spacecraft that had transported them there experienced thruster issues and helium leaks.

Jeff Bezos, the second richest man in the world, successfully blasted off a 320-foot-tall rocket ship made by his Blue Origin company from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the early hours of the morning. It made the company the first to successfully reach orbit on its first launch of an orbital-class rocket.
Blue Origin is key to Amazon's ability to compete with SpaceX Starlink. Jeff Bezos has finally done it. He's finally reached space with an honest-to-goodness orbital-class rocket. Ten years ago, Bezos ignited a feud with SpaceX founder Elon Musk when his Blue Origin rocket company launched a suborbital New Shepard rocket to the edge of space and then landed it back on Earth.

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, and Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, have been engaged in a public feud for years. Musk has criticized Bezos as a "copycat" on social media, mocked Blue Origin's lunar landing design,
After the interaction between the two, X users have reacted to it, many pointing out at it as a 'friendly exchange'.
One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.
Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin joined the billionaire’s space race in earnest when its New Glenn rocket roared from a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in the early morning hours of Jan. 16. The second stage with the Blue Ring payload successfully reached orbit. However, an attempt to land the first stage on a drone ship failed.
Going forward, SpaceX is likely to offer its gigantic Starship rocket as a competitor to New Glenn, and here, the advantage shifts back to SpaceX. Bigger than New Glenn (120 meters tall versus 98) and with a wider faring to encapsulate cargo (9 meters versus 7), SpaceX's Starship will boast a massive payload advantage over Blue Origin's new rocket.
After the Jan. 16 maiden launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, billionaire Jeff Bezos and crew dined at the Country Cookin' Diner in Port St. John. Bezos, who owns Blue Origin, ate the pancake combo, with two eggs over medium and a sausage patty. "He tipped well. He was very generous," waitress Pam Pollock said.
