They do it more step by step. But with the BE-4 and BE-3/BE-3U they have developed two fantastic engines that they can both potentially sell for use in orbital rockets.

They are also already far into the development and production of a orbital rocket themselves.

They focus on the cone, and slowly build up. By 2021 they will fly the third biggest rocket in the world with some unique capability.



The BE-3 is half the power of the Merlin and has only been fired in tests.

The BE-4 is a collection of parts thats never been fired together successfully.

2021 is hugely optimistic given BOs track record.
