On Thursday, 13 November 2025, Blue Origin successfully launched its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This marked only the second flight of the 321-foot (98-meter) tall rocket. The launch carried NASA's twin Mars orbiters, destined for Mars, into space. The booster impressively landed upright on a barge about 375 miles (600 km) offshore. Jeff Bezos observed the launch from the control center as company employees cheered the achievement. NASA and Blue Origin have future plans for the New Glenn rocket to transport people and supplies to the Moon.
