Jeff Bezos' #BlueOrigin space venture and its #NewGlenn rocket join #SpaceX and #UnitedLaunchAlliance on the latest #SpaceForce list for future national security launch contracts worth up to $13.7 billion. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/space-force-national-security-launch-blue-origin/

#Amazon is under time pressure 
. The license issued by the US regulatory authorities for the operation of #satellite internet in 2020 requires half of the satellite network to be completed by 
July 2026. The rest must be in orbit by July 2029 
. More than 30 additional launches are planned with other companies, such as #Arianespace and #BlueOrigin. Even the competitor #SpaceX is helping out https://www.heise.de/en/news/Amazon-launches-the-first-internet-satellites-for-Project-Kuiper-next-week-10338214.html

“The euphemism among #BlueOrigin alumni is that Blue Origin’s track record speaks for itself”. The company has reached #orbit 
only once, compared with #SpaceX achieving the feat more than 450 times https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/jeff-bezos-brings-amazon-work-culture-to-blue-origin

Amazon Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin New Glenn maiden launch. Did a lot of research to get settings right, but camera settings were mostly guess using SpaceX as an information point. . The image bought was of the actual launch taken from the beach. I have two other captures before the launch available.

#SpaceX has developed two heavy lift rockets in the last decade, and #BlueOrigin just launched #NewGlenn. Each of these rockets is at least partially reusable 
and flies at less than one-tenth 
the cost of the #SLS rocket

@Powerfromspace1 sure ? "#BlueOrigin has started working on a project to develop a fully reusable upper stage for #NewGlenn" https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/blue-origin-is-developing-reusable-second-stage-other-advanced-projects. Shouldn't it be "where's a #delay, there's an #excuse" ?

#BlueOrigin 
: "we're going to try to make the expendable upper stage so #cheap to manufacture that a reusable stage can never compete with it. And we're going to try to make the #reusable stage so operable that an expendable stage can never compete with it."
Now is the time when the real movement, the kind of golden age of #space , is going to happen. The next big step is in situ resource

Depuis l'ISS, l'astronaute Don Pettit a réussi à photographier le 16 janvier le 2e étage de #NewGlenn en phase de croisière. C'est le trait à l'arrière des traînées des étoiles, allant du coin inférieur droit vers le coin supérieur gauche, sur cette pause longue de 4 min

SpaceX started Starship development in 2012. Despite 12 years of work, its best test flight reached space but not orbit, sending a banana to the Indian Ocean.
While NASA's SLS began in 2011 and successfully flew around the Moon in 2022.
Blue Origin's New Glenn also started development in 2012 and reached orbit on it's first flight with an actual payload.
When they say SpaceX is fast, what do they mean exactly?

Remarkable day with engineering test flights of 2 giant American commercial #NewSpace rockets, #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #NG1 & #SpaceX #Starship flight test 7, about 16 hours apart. Rocket science once again proved to be hard. Interesting opposite results: New Glenn's 2nd stage got to orbit, but 1st stage was lost on the landing attempt. Starship 33 (new Block 2 model) failed to reach orbit, while Booster 14 was successfully caught by the tower arms. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/113829189563034434 #business #spacegeek

Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning could be exciting with #SpaceX #Starship🚀 flight test 7 and #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 currently scheduled 8 hours apart. However, engineering flight tests are not conducted for spectators. It's realistic to set expectations for possible delays. https://go4liftoff.com/launches?item_count=20&upcoming=true&tbd=true #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
Blue Thunder At 36 Today's #NewGlenn Launch was nothing short of spectacular to witness and photograph!
