Currently Playing: BLUE ORIGIN LANDED THE BOOSTER! New Glenn-2 Flight Recap

Blue Origin's New Glenn just etched its name in rocketry history with a flawless second flight: a thunderous liftoff from Launch Complex 36, a fiery re-entry burn, and—against all odds—a pinpoint landing on the ocean-going platform Jacklyn, marking the second company ever to land an orbital-class booster at sea. After scrubs from weather woes and solar storms, the 60-meter behemoth powered by seven BE-4 engines soared into orbit, delivering NASA's ESCAPADE twin satellites on a clever detour to Mars via the L2 Lagrange point—chilling in deep space until the next transfer window opens, a workaround born from launch delays that once sidelined it from the Psyche mission. Upgrades from Flight 1's re-light woes shone through in a textbook re-entry and touchdown, drawing kudos from Elon Musk to Jared Isaacman, while underscoring New Glenn's pivotal role in Blue's Artemis ambitions, with Blue Moon cargo landers eyeing a lunar hop as soon as January. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera (@AlexPhysics13). 🎥 Video from D Wise, Blue Origin, NASA, ESA, ESA & MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/RSSD/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
