Fun video showcasing "No, It's Necessary" lifting on the Transporter Erector. Next stop integrated hotfire. "Never Tell Me The Odds" is in the house, too (well into it’s refurb cycle)
"Never Tell Me The Odds" is back. Team Blue inspected every system, completed refurbishment, and certified it for flight. Proud to put a flight-proven booster to work for @AST_SpaceMobile on NG-3. Enjoy this fun video of us moving the integrated vehicle to the Transporter Erector (TE).
Sharing a couple photos of our GS2s in build and getting their final touches inside our Rocket Park Factory. It's getting a little crowded, but that's exactly the point, manufacturing rate matters.
BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ rocket company Blue Origin has just successfully landed its New Glenn rocket booster on a barge in the middle of the ocean — 25 years after its founding — becoming only the second company in history to land a rocket booster after SpaceX (2015).
Holy shit!
New Glenn’s first and second stages are now mated – a big step toward launch. Here is a fun time lapse video (from the factory cameras) of us moving the integrated vehicle to the Transporter Erector (TE). The New Glenn simulator can be seen in the middle of the clip, an important part for ground support equipment validation. We will spend the next days on final checkouts and connecting the umbilicals. Stay tuned for rollout and hotfire!
New Glenn is on the move!
Busy day for @blueorigin as New Shepard NS-36 has also just launched from West Texas. We love busy!

Expecting to be by our https://t.co/pWsv50gmvY cameras in the next 1-2 hours.
An update on NG-2: ESCAPADE is at Astrotech and GS1 is headed to LC-36 in early October. Next up is the vehicle hotfire mid-month with launch soon thereafter.
New Glenn’s second mission, NG-2, will send @NASA’s ESCAPADE to Mars. This launch will support ESCAPADE’s science objectives as the twin spacecraft progress on their journey to the Red Planet. Also onboard is a technology demonstration from @Viasat in support of @NASASpaceOps' Communications Services Project.

Ryan Preece walked off the track after this crash…
Maybe it’s time to start considering NASCAR drivers some of the best athletes in the world @rubbinisracing
