Reusability and more importantly, operational reusability, is designed into each of our systems and subsystems to ensure longevity, efficiencies, and robustness. Operational reusability is key to improving access to space.

Since SpaceX is now talking about Point-to-Point travel on Earth, what's the possibility of New Shepard being used for Point-to-Point delivery, like say by Amazon?
Suppose you had to get some item delivered to the other end of the Earth very quickly, in a couple of hours - could New Shepard do this as suborbital vehicle? Or would this require a much bigger rocket like New Glenn?
Robotbeat:
New Shepard doesn't have enough delta-V to be worth doing any of that.

There's a possibility of Blue Origin talking about it, as well.
brickmack:
Much bigger. NS can barely deliver a useful payload 100 km straight up, nevermind 100 km up and halfway around the world. New Glenn would probably be a decent basis for such a vehicle
