#SpaceX has developed two heavy lift rockets in the last decade, and #BlueOrigin just launched #NewGlenn. Each of these rockets is at least partially reusable ♻️ and flies at less than one-tenth 💵 the cost of the #SLS rocket 💰 arstechnica.com/space/2025/02/

#BlueOrigin 🐢 : "we're going to try to make the expendable upper stage so #cheap 💵 to manufacture that a reusable stage can never compete with it. And we're going to try to make the #reusable ♻️ stage so operable that an expendable stage can never compete with it."

Now is the time when the real movement, the kind of golden age of #space 🌌, is going to happen. The next big step is in situ resource ⚒️ development arstechnica.com/features/2025/

Ars Technica · After the success of New Glenn, Blue Origin to focus on launching frequentlyBy Eric Berger

SpaceX started Starship development in 2012. Despite 12 years of work, its best test flight reached space but not orbit, sending a banana to the Indian Ocean.

While NASA's SLS began in 2011 and successfully flew around the Moon in 2022.

Blue Origin's New Glenn also started development in 2012 and reached orbit on it's first flight with an actual payload.

When they say SpaceX is fast, what do they mean exactly?

New Glenn first launch. Second stage reaches orbit. First stage fails to land on barge, but once this happens consistently, certification will come for commercial flights. Will eventually send lander to Moon as part of Artemis program (if that continues). Space Race 2.0 in next phase.

After numerous delays, we finally have LIFTOFF of Blue Origins New Glenn Rocket! The vehicle slowly rose off the pad and traveled down range. Stage 2 successfully entered orbital trajectory, however unfortunately Stage 1 was lost before landing! Still a huge success for Blue Origin! #newglenn
