Lifed on. In a first for the company, an uncrewed blue origin rocket blasted off into space on January 16th. It's the company's first launch into orbit following numerous ones by its competitor SpaceX. The rocket, New Glenn, is roughly the height of a 30 story tall building and carries experimental technology. However, it appears to have missed 1 of its goals of catching New Glenn's first stage rocket booster on a seafaring platform.
New Glenn is part of Blue Origin's most ambitious goals, potentially being able to power national security launches or help construct a space station. Seconds in the flight. Oh my god. And And liftoff. All 7 engines continue to look good on the first stage data quality.
Blue Origin, the company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has successfully launched its New Glenn rocket into orbit.
