BLUE ORIGIN'S FIRST ORBITAL LAUNCH NOW TARGETING SUNDAY
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Blue Origin is aiming to launch its first orbital rocket on Sunday. The launch was delayed due to rough seas in the Atlantic, where the company hopes to land its first stage booster on a ship. The rocket, New Glenn, will carry a prototype of Blue Ring, a US Defense Department funded spacecraft. The launch will mark Blue Origin's long-awaited entry into the orbital launch market and escalate the rivalry between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
