New Glenn Launch

[quintessentone]

Introducing Blue Origin New Glenn, which is set to launch in a few days.

If successful, we may see more competition within this arena and hopefully lowering prices for passenger travel to space as well as direct internet satellite link services.

Actually now liftoff is very soon, weather permitting.

Best of luck. The video below gives a view of expected launch at Port Canaveral, separations and booster touchdown on Jacklyn.

If successful, this will stop SpaceX's monopoly in this arena and getting all the government contracts in the future, or will it?

[quintessentone]

NO! Don't tell me it's a 20 to 40 percent of success. WHY?

This is special.

Launch for real in 40 min.

Still no launch.  The timer has reset so many times now.  Think it's been bad weather.

Yeah, so did I and I am sure they will fix their subsystem issue and have a successful mission. "Better late than never."

What an exciing sight, very impressive for a first attempt even if they did lose the booster. Rocket scientist holds up sign "In Thrust, We Trust". lol love it
