Who thought that landing that capsule on solid ground was a good idea? In fact that thing slammed into the ground pretty damn hard. I would redesign it to employ at least 6 chutes.

It looks pretty poor compared to real orbital flight. For those few seconds in zero G "above" the karman line, people give huge money. By definition, they are still not astronauts, since managing the capsule is an automatic process. Although Blue Origin likes to state that their passengers have become astronauts regardless of the rule that says if you don't orbit, jumping over the karman line should be managed by the passengers as in the case of the X15 pilots who were granted astronaut status solely because that they were actually flying the craft.

And Ed Dwight isn't super rich, he was sponsored by Humanity for for Space, as was Colby Cotton by MoonDAO.
