Currently Playing: Can Blue Origin Do The Impossible?

Blue Origin’s New Glenn return-to-flight timeline is tightening as crews continue rebuilding Launch Complex-36 after the May pad explosion, with modules now being restacked on the upgraded support tower, the launch bridge and water deluge system be refurbished, and the shift to vertical integration accelerating work ahead of a targeted December flight carrying a Blue Ring spacecraft. CEO Dave Limp and Founder Jeff Bezos have outlined progress on the damaged hardware while also confirming Blue Origin is constructing four pads in total - including LC-36A, the new LC-36B for New Glenn 9x4, SLC-14 at Vandenberg, and potential use of LC-46 - amid ambitious long-term cadence goals. The video also covers the first public confirmation in years of Blue Origin’s ongoing “Space Vehicle” orbital crew vehicle development, including its 2012 Commercial Crew Development origins, recent reporting from the International Astronautical Congress, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman’s comments on supporting additional crew vehicles without a new on-ramp program, and what it means as Starliner continues testing and Dragon faces an eventual retirement path. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from Max Evans, Jerry Pike, D Wise, Space Coast Live, Blue Origin, Astra, NASA. 🛰 NSF's ISS Imagery Partner, @Sen: https://youtube.com/@Sen/live ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
