Blue Origin management was quoted by The Verge as saying workers in Texas may "lose their jobs … because of our actions" if employees didn't come to the facility for a test launch of the company's New Shepard rocket.
The possibility of launching on April 10 was considered as the company is exempt from stay-at-home orders, due to the Pentagon declaring Blue Origin "mission essential" due to its national security contracts. "Blue Origin is unique and in a very fortunate position. We will not be having layoffs, but in fact, we will be hiring. We will not be making budget, payroll or benefit cuts based on this crisis," Smith wrote in the email.
Virgin Galactic is to Star Trek as Blue Origin is to Space Truckers.
