This was the Jeff Bezos-founded launch company\u2019s 19th consecutive successful crew capsule landing. The mission carries symbolic weight, as Shatner, known worldwide as Star Trek\u2019s Captain Kirk, is responsible for bringing a significant amount of people into the space industry.<\/p>\n<p>While being planned for some time, Shatner\u2019s journey comes just weeks after Blue Origin was racked by serious allegations penned in a letter by current and former company employees regarding safety and workplace culture. During this conversation, Rachel and I will break down the story from the perspective of the satellite industry and what Blue Origin customers may want to know about the story \u2013 as well as it\u2019s short- and long-term impact could be on the larger space community.\n<\/p>\n<p>We also talk about the massive challenges facing space data analytics, imagery and sensing service providers in reaching their long list of target vertical markets, including the finance sector \u2013 all of which provides lots of opportunities for these companies to solve significant challenges. Finally, we take a look at Michael Sheetz\u2019s report from CNBC about<strong> SpaceX<\/strong> reaching a $100 billion valuation with a \u201cleaked\u201d stakeholder stock offering and what that might mean in terms of boosting commercial space to a trillion-dollar-plus market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to&nbsp;On Orbit&nbsp;wherever you listen to podcasts:&nbsp;Apple Podcasts,&nbsp;Soundcloud,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Spotify.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen Here:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Month in Review: Blue Origin Blues, Data for Everything, and Chasing SpaceX by On Orbit Podcast by Via Satellite\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1141654795&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;maxheight=750&amp;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this episode of On Orbit, Via Satellite Managing Editor Rachel Jewett joins us to unpack what has been a whirlwind month for the space industry.
