BLUE ORIGIN INCHES CLOSER TO THE FIRST NEW GLENN FLIGHT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Blue Origin successfully performed a hotfire of its New Glenn rocket on December 27, the same day it was issued a commercial space launch license from the US Federal Aviation Administration. The company remains tightlipped about when it will launch its rocket, but it had claimed earlier in the year to be targeting a launch before the end of the year. New Glenn was designed to be partly reusable. Its first stage, which is designed to be good for a minimum of 25 missions, will land on a downrange sea-based platform.
