Large vertical rocket structure with brown metallic lower section and white upper body marked Blue Origin. Blue text Never Tell Me appears on the side near top with wing icon. Base supported by white legs on concrete dock. Group of about ten people in dark clothing jeans and hats stand clustered nearby facing it. Background shows blue water docked blue ship industrial cranes and distant buildings under clear blue sky.

In a recent hotfire our BE-3U engine reached more than 211,500 lbf thrust. That makes BE-3U the highest thrust-to-weight hydrogen engine in history, at more than 90! Here is the video of that test for your enjoyment.

White rocket positioned vertically on launch pad with three surrounding metal support towers each with crossbeams and bases. Bright pink flame and exhaust plume extend downward from rocket base during ignition. Clear blue sky background with minimal clouds. Slight smoke wisps near base.

Jacklyn and “Never Tell Me The Odds” underway to port. Currently tracking for a Tuesday arrival

View from the deck of a boat facing forward toward open ocean under partly cloudy skies with sunlight breaking through. A distant vessel with a lighthouse-like structure is visible on the horizon. Yellow safety features and wooden elements are on the foreground deck. Calm sea water reflects the light.

Large cylindrical rocket with brownish metallic exterior stands vertically on launch platform with support structures and four white legs extending outward. Workers in yellow high-visibility vests and helmets positioned around base performing maintenance. Scene on concrete pad near water with industrial buildings in background under clear daylight.

A brown cylindrical rocket with a pointed nose and multiple circular engine nozzles at the base launches upward against a clear blue sky. Thick white smoke billows from the sides and bright blue and purple flames erupt from the engines creating a trail of fire and exhaust. The structure appears metallic with visible panels and struts.

Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by

A tall white rocket stands vertically on the deck of a large offshore platform ship at night on calm ocean waters under a twilight sky. The ship has multiple levels with visible equipment like antennas railings and lighting. Spotlights illuminate the rocket base and surrounding areas highlighting structural details.

I loved the landing, but equally impressed with our team for the orbit insertion accuracy!

A dark blue circular bullseye chart labeled NEW GLENN-2 BULLSEYE CHART displays orbital insertion parameters with a central target point marked by a triangle, surrounded by concentric rings labeled 1 sigma, 2 sigma, and 3 sigma, axes for inclination and argument of perigee, and a C3 value at the top right.

First image shows a white SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral with two tall support towers, thick white exhaust plume billowing from the base during liftoff, coastal area with ocean, water body, vegetation, buildings, and a water tower in the background. Second image captures the same rocket ascending skyward with a bright purple flame and trail from its engines, set against a clear blue sky, near a historic black-and-white striped lighthouse, a small green house with white trim, trees, and launch infrastructure visible on the ground.
