Blue Origin's New Glenn Ready for January 12 Launch

Blue Origin’s towering New Glenn rocket, standing 321 feet tall, is set to make its inaugural flight on January 12, 2025, from Cape Canaveral after a weather delay. The NG-1 mission will carry the Pentagon-funded Blue Ring Pathfinder, marking its first National Security Space Launch certification. Powered by 7 BE-4 engines, New Glenn aims to lift 45 tons to LEO. Eyes are on the reusable first stage as it attempts a sea landing on the whimsically named 'Jacklyn.' Here’s to Bezos joining the orbital launch race!
