Blue Origin launched its New Glenn rocket for the first time, marking a major milestone for Jeff Bezos’ space company. The rocket successfully reached orbit, though its booster was lost during reentry. New Glenn is designed to lift to 100,000 pounds to low Earth orbit. This debut places Blue Origin in competition with SpaceX and other established players in the orbital launch market. The company plans to scale launches rapidly, with a goal of 10 missions this year, following years of delays.
