One question for you since your worked at SpaceX. Starship v4 is supposed to be able to bring 200 metric tons to LEO vs 35 metric tons for v2. Do you have any guesses on the finally amount that New Glenn will be able to bring up when it reaches its version/block 4?

The numbers for payload beyond v3 are aspirational at best.

>200 tons to LEO

*In fully reusable first AND second stage configuration.

An expendable starship would double the tonnage.
