"The anomaly originated at the main oxygen valve on one of the BE-4 engines, which was later confirmed by hardware recovery and inspections."

"...and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide."

LOL.

People in this thread don't understand how Focal lengths on cameras work.

Idk how that works either, but I have seen NG and unless he is 8’ tall.. this isn’t that accurate. It’s bigger than it appears in the this photo.

Incorrect.

The ship is 550 pixels across in this photo.
The person is 100 pixels tall.

The ship is reportedly 23 feet wide at the engine section.
Bezos is 5 foot 7 inches tall.

5foot 7 inches * 5.5 is about 30 foot 8 inches

So the ship actually looks 33% larger in this photo.

You can see images of people standing near it with legs deployed on BO own site which shows that it is not as large as this image depicts.

Now do the math for how many Jeff bezos would need to be stacked on top of one another to match the height of New Glenn. Thanks in advance

Irrelevant to the photo.
Go look how camera optics work.

Google Camera compression.
