      Technically, the New Shepard capsule briefly crosses the Kármán line.

      You are correct that there is no comparison though. Starship could probably put the entire New Shepard vehicle into orbit as a payload.

        Okay… One reaches a technical definition of space. The other reaches orbit.

        Blue Origin has yet to put anything aside from a handful of its engines into orbit. We’ll see if that changes in the next couple months.

          If we’re going to be pedantic: Starship hasn’t reached orbit yet either. All flights so far were suborbital.
