Blue Origin just revealed a new upgraded version of their New Glenn rocket, and a lot of people are calling it an absolute beast. Some even think it could finally become a real threat to SpaceX and challenge their dominance in the launch industry. In this video, we’re going to break down whether this new rocket actually puts pressure on SpaceX or if the hype is overstated. But before we dive into all of that, make sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any future updates.
Just a week earlier, Blue Origin completed the second launch of the original New Glenn rocket. The rocket lifted off cleanly from Cape Canaveral, with all seven BE-4 engines firing without the issues that had caused multiple delays in earlier years. The ascent was smooth, the stage separation occurred exactly on schedule, and the upper stage delivered its payload to the correct orbit without any major anomalies.
The most important moment came during the booster’s return. After stage separation, the first stage performed its boost-back burn, re-entry burn, and landing burn with surprising precision for such a large vehicle. Blue Origin had already practiced landings on New Shepard, but landing a massive, multi-engine orbital-class booster is a completely different challenge. Despite that, the New Glenn booster touched down on the recovery ship with a stable, upright landing.
