Jeff Bezos eyes space victory as Blue Origin launch nears, revives rivalry with Musk’s SpaceX

Live Mint  

Blue Origin, the space company founded by Amazon magnate Jeff Bezos, is preparing to launch its inaugural orbital rocket, New Glenn, next week, marking a pivotal moment in the commercial space race. This launch signifies Blue Origin’s long-awaited entry into the competitive orbital launch market, moving beyond its previous suborbital achievements with the smaller New Shepard rocket, which ferried passengers and payloads on brief trips to the edge of space. "New Glenn provides the US government with dissimilar redundancy – vital for ensuring backup systems in case of failure," said space policy expert Scott Pace. If successful, it will not only secure Blue Origin’s place in the lucrative orbital market but also reignite its rivalry with SpaceX, setting the stage for the next chapter in the commercial space race.
