Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Achieves Orbit on Maiden Voyage

ai generated text

Blue Origin, founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, successfully reached orbit with its New Glenn rocket on its first test flight. The rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida at 2:03 am, but failed to land on its platform in the ocean. The New Glenn rocket is a massive 30-storey vehicle that was named after John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962.

    1. Congratulations to Blue Origin on the first successful test flight of New Glenn. Together, and in the spirit of John Glenn, we are pushing the boundaries of exploration and reaching new heights — to the moon, Mars and beyond.

    1. New Glenn has passed the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space!
    2. LIFTOFF! New Glenn is beginning its first ever ascent toward the stars.
    3. Second stage engine cutoff confirmed. New Glenn's second stage and payload are now in orbit.
    4. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines.
    5. A reusable rocket purpose-built to deliver high volume and mass to orbit, New Glenn is a key to unlocking our long-term vision — a future where people and heavy industries are moved into space to preserve Earth, humanity's blue origin.

    1. This is the very beginning of a new phase of the space age, where we'll work together to lower the cost of access to space.

    1. We'll learn a lot from today and try again at our next launch this spring.

    1. Our key objective today is to reach orbit safely. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. We know landing the booster on our first try offshore in the Atlantic is ambitious.

    1. What you are going to see are these two companies challenge each other to make even greater strides.

    1. SpaceX has for the past several years been pretty much the only game in town, and so having a competitor... this is great.
