New Glenn’s inaugural mission (NG-1) is targeting no earlier than Friday, January 10, from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The three-hour launch window opens at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). NG-1 is our first National Security Space Launch certification flight.

The payload is our Blue Ring Pathfinder. It will test Blue Ring’s core flight, ground systems, and operational capabilities as part of the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Orbital Logistics prototype effort.

I guess it's been delayed until the 12th.

It's about time that Bezos tried to catch up to Musk and might mean these two will finally get us into space again before I die.

Blue Origin (BORGN), the space technology company owned by Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, on Monday called off the inaugural launch of its New Glenn rocket, after multiple delays, due to some last-minute anomalies.

"We're standing down on today's launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window," the company posted on social media platform X. "We're reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt."

The three-hour window for the New Glenn launch out of Cape Canaveral in Florida began Monday at 1 a.m. ET. The mission involved an attempt at landing the rocket's first-stage booster on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean, while its second stage would've continued toward orbit.

Our youngest daughter was there boarding a Carnival Cruise ship at the perfect time to get a video this morning but it was scrubbed. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.
