One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.

Jeff Bezos’s space company Blue Origin hired S-3 Group to lobby on issues related to space launch logistics in the annual defense appropriations bill. Blue Origin has received nearly $1.5 billion in government contracts over the past five years from NASA,

Blue Origin scored a major win with its New Glenn rocket launch, but SpaceX still leads the space industry with a Falcon fleet and upcoming Starship.

NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland has ties to Tuesday morning's Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launch from the company's launch site in West Texas.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin LLC stunned the space industry this week, launching a brand-new rocket taller than the Statue of Liberty into orbit on its first try.

Going forward, SpaceX is likely to offer its gigantic Starship rocket as a competitor to New Glenn, and here, the advantage shifts back to SpaceX. Bigger than New Glenn (120 meters tall versus 98) and with a wider faring to encapsulate cargo (9 meters versus 7), SpaceX's Starship will boast a massive payload advantage over Blue Origin's new rocket.

Blue Origin is key to Amazon's ability to compete with SpaceX Starlink. Jeff Bezos has finally done it. He's finally reached space with an honest-to-goodness orbital-class rocket. Ten years ago, Bezos ignited a feud with SpaceX founder Elon Musk when his Blue Origin rocket company launched a suborbital New Shepard rocket to the edge of space and then landed it back on Earth.

After an extended delay brought on by unfavorable weather conditions and a vehicle issue that required troubleshooting, Blue Origin has scrubbed its Tuesday morning launch. This trip was intended to simulate the moon’s gravity and would have flown 30 payloads,

Just past 2 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 16, 2025, a new rocket blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. By reaching orbit, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket launch has marked a milestone for a commercial space company that has big ambitions.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is plotting to challenge Elon Musk's Starlink in the UK broadband market, with plans to launch an alternative — dubbed Project Kuiper — as early as this year. Starlink uses satellites orbiting the Earth to power your home Wi-Fi connection,
