Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, has filed a comment with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requesting a cap on SpaceX's Starship launches from Cape Canaveral. Blue Origin cites environmental concerns impacting the local environment as the primary reason for this request. Despite being founded in 2000, approximately two years before SpaceX, Blue Origin has yet to reach orbit. The move, which included an attached letter, is seen as an attempt to slow down SpaceX, which has been making significant advancements in developing lower-cost heavy lift vehicles. Blue Origin's criticism comes amid its own struggles to achieve orbit.
