"New Glenn almost certainly will not launch again in 2026, and frankly a launch during the first half of 2027 would be heroic given the launch site concerns." @SciGuySpace

@1002iahdillon @SawyerMerritt @Starlink Yes but adding the United Express fleet to this number brings the percentage down to 57% of the fleet.
