all of the moon stuff has been pushed back out of 24 but whatever

last week's really cool news was the first ULA Vulcan launch on the first try in the first window

the blue flame of methalox is really fucking cool

the chinese beat spacex past the karman line with a methalox 4 months before the BFR 2 attempt

but the Bezos Blue Origin BE-4 engines have been way way behind and for have them work this well on the first try is just totally unexpected

the BE-4 engines are going power New Glenn and for them to work like this is so fucking cool

bumping this

new glenn likely went through a wet dress rehearsal yesterday, the stack was seen venting on and off but consistently all day

with 9 days left it is conceivable that blue origin may still try for it's first launch in '24

a wet dress rehearsal is the final step before a hotfire where they will gas it up again and then fire all 7 engines for a second or 2

@RamjetFDO what are you hearing on your grapevine?

New Glenn 1

next sunday 5th @ midnight ct, monday 6th 1am et

Following a successful 24-second static fire of a full integrated stack for the first time on Dec. 27, Blue Origin is set to debut its New Glenn heavy-lift launcher on Monday, Jan. 6, at 01:00 EST (06:00 UTC) from Launch Complex 36 (LC-36) at the CCSFS in Florida. New Glenn has been in design and development for well over a decade. It is named after NASA astronaut John Glenn, the first American to reach orbit 62 years ago in February 1962 on the Friendship 7 mission.

In addition to flying on its maiden launch, the GS1-SN001 first stage booster, playfully named So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance, will attempt to land on the company’s recovery vessel Jacklyn, which will be stationed downrange in the Atlantic. This will mark the company’s first propulsive landing of an orbital class booster and the first recovery attempt on Jacklyn.
