The New Glenn rocket is sitting on the launchpad ready to go! It’s reusable first stage designed for 25 launches will allow it to directly compete with Space X. The stage’s seven BE-4 engines are the most powerful liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled oxygen-rich staged combustion engines ever flown. (In addition to powering New Glenn, Blue Origin’s BE-4 engines are also used by United Launch Alliance for its Vulcan rocket.) A single BE-4 turbopump can fit in the backseat of a car. When all seven pump fuel and oxygen from the BE-4′s common shaft, they produce enough horsepower to propel two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers at full tilt.

New Glenn is carrying the Blue Ring Pathfinder, a multi-mission space mobility platform that can deliver and host 3,000 kilograms of payloads across 13 ports to destinations in GEO, cislunar, and interplanetary space. The spacecraft’s ability to maneuver to multiple orbits and locations, deploy and host payloads, and perform onboard computing and communications will enable groundbreaking missions for a variety of customers.

Make it fucking so!
