Jeff Bezos Finally Got His New Big Rocket Up, But Misses Booster Landing
Jeff Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin, successfully launched its new flagship rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 0203 ET. The launch occurred five years later than initially planned and an hour into the launch window. Liberal MSM celebrated the launch event, framing it as a move to challenge Elon Musk’s space monopoly with SpaceX.
New Glenn launched from Cape Canaveral at 0203 ET. The payload of New Glenn was the company’s Blue Ring Pathfinder test satellite, which was put into orbit – the main objective of the space mission.

“Key here, we hit our main objective,” Blue Origin executive Ariane Cornell told viewers on a live stream, adding, “We got to orbit, safely.”
However, the rocket’s reusable first-stage booster failed to land on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean, something SpaceX’s reusable booster rockets do regularly, blasting Starlink satellites into orbit.
On X, Musk congratulated Bezos on finally getting his new big rocket to space: “Congratulations on reaching orbit on the first attempt! @JeffBezos.”

Blue Origin postponed New Glenn’s launch earlier this week due to adverse weather conditions.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported last August that “testing including a factory mishap that damaged a portion of a future New Glenn rocket,” adding the rocket company has “grappled with development delays, a sluggish corporate culture and explosive setbacks.”
Who has the bigger rocket?
Bezos told Bloomberg earlier in the week that the space industry has room for “multiple winners.”
Yet Blue Origin is many years behind SpaceX…
