Serious question: I Blue Origin actually doing anything else but celebrity joy-rides? If not, this has to be the most grotesque waste of resources I can think of.
At this point they seem like joy rides. To start I remember them claiming they were using the data from New Shepard to learn how to best control and land the much larger and more expensive New Glenn rocket, which made sense. It's not like SpaceX is going to share how they manage to nail the landings so repeatedly, it's the secret to their success.
