One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.
Blue Origin scrubbed a planned launch of its New Shepard rocket Tuesday due to persistent cloud cover at the west Texas launch site.
NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland has ties to Tuesday morning's Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launch from the company's launch site in West Texas.
Blue Origin, the rocket company Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos founded, notched one of the most substantial successes in its history on Thursday: sending a rocket to orbit.
Paleontologists in Peru on Monday unveiled the 9-million-year-old fossil of a relative of the great white shark that once inhabited the waters of the southern Pacific Ocean, where it liked to devour sardines.

Going forward, SpaceX is likely to offer its gigantic Starship rocket as a competitor to New Glenn, and here, the advantage shifts back to SpaceX. Bigger than New Glenn (120 meters tall versus 98) and with a wider faring to encapsulate cargo (9 meters versus 7), SpaceX's Starship will boast a massive payload advantage over Blue Origin's new rocket.
Shrugging off bad weather, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched its powerful New Glenn rocket on its maiden flight early Thursday, lighting up a cloudy overnight sky as it climbed away from Cape Canaveral in a high-stakes bid to compete with Elon Musk's industry-leading SpaceX.
EL PASO, Texas ( KTSM) — Blue Origin is preparing for its latest launch. This one, set for Tuesday morning, is intended to simulate the moon’s gravity and will fly 30 payloads, according to the company.
Blue Origin said that after breaching the Karman Line, nearly 100 kilometers above Earth, the payload will experience at least two minutes of lunar gravity forces to test six broad lunar technologies.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is scheduled to launch the NS-29 mission of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle from West Texas on Tuesday, January 28, at 11 a.m. EST. This research flight will simulate the Moon's one-sixth gravity,
