In both the company's initial announcement of the anomaly and in Lai's more recent comments, Blue Origin emphasized that the apparent malfunction did iterate that the escape mechanisms worked the way they were supposed to.
"I can tell you with certainty that the acceleration environment that we experienced was exactly what we predicted," the chief New Shepard architect said. "It was exactly as the astronauts were trained for." "Everything went according to plan," Lai added, which seemed a bit euphemistic all things considered.
Looking forward, Lai said that Blue Origin expects that "suborbital tourism will dominate" its flights within the coming year, which again seems mighty optimistic given that its tourism crew capsule is still grounded.
