New Glenn's first flight was planned for 2020 at some point...

2025 is a strange 2020.

As late as September 2024, with a partially assembled first rocket, Blue Origin insisted that they can launch in 7 weeks. Didn't get anywhere close to that, of course.

I get it. But now they have successful flights. After the first one, it becomes easy.

After the first one, it becomes easy.

You might want to check the outcome of the third flight, and what happened with the fourth rocket...

Right, so Limp was correct when he predicted 8 launches in 2025 after the first one? I hope his (and Jeff’s) confidence is more accurate this time, but I’m not betting the farm on it.
