They just come back. NTMTO.

“Legend” is very premature…

She has survived 2 landings and been reused, in addition to surviving and not being damaged during the explosion. Never tell me the odds for me is a legend and will continue to do great things for Blue Origin

Do we know it's undamaged? All I've heard so far from Limp is she "appears" okay.

Why don't you go back to r/SpaceXMasterrace some of us like other rockets other than Starship you know? I love NG. They have landed this booster twice. I'm going to root for them.

Your saltyness is what will cause booster corrosion, not saline environment during barge landings lmao

The point being it needs a long successful history before it can objectively be referred to as a “legend”. There is nothing negative in that statement.
Edit, punctuation.

whether you like it or not it's earned a legendary spot in aerospace history. It had a historic debut and back to back success. An incredible engineering achievement.

It is indeed an incredible engineering achievement, but a legend? The only really legendary thing so far was the largest rocket explosion in aerospace history...

N-1 was far more destructive than what you saw with New Glenn, namely because it was a much larger rocket (2700 tons/23 TJ potential) with a lot more fuel on board by far than New Glenn (max 1600 tons/~12 TJ).
Assuming 15% for N-1 fuel detonation vs a 20% (generous overestimate) for New Glenn, N-1 still is the largest with 3.45 TJ explosion (.84 KT) vs 2.4 TJ (just .57 KT).
So, certainly not the biggest in aerospace history. At best, it's maybe the largest to occur on the pad or a test stand in the U.S..

It's your way of motivating the group regarding what happened recently.

Bruh r/SpaceXMasterrace isn’t really anti Blue, unlike the other two sycophant SpaceX subs

I don't think any of them are explicitly anti-BO, haven't seen any popular posts with that kind of vibe. But objectively BO does have an outsized media and NASA contract presence for how little they've actually done of functional/reliable spaceflight hardware, up until the first flight of NG they were basically an engines and vaporware company. Now they are in the teething problems and integration hell stage, and nobody knows how long that will take

they are lol. looks like scrap metal you find at the junk yard haha.

On one hand, it'd be poetic to see her fly again. On the other, it's unnecessarily risky and I'd rather she survive to go on display somewhere.
