Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket: Delays and Challenges

The New Glenn rocket, touted as the largest ever constructed by Blue Origin—the aerospace company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, best known for Amazon—has not had a smooth launch trajectory. Originally slated for an inaugural flight last Friday, the launch was postponed to Sunday due to unfavorable weather conditions over the Atlantic Ocean, which is where part of the rocket was scheduled to land. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the delay saga; the company subsequently postponed the launch again, citing the same weather concerns.
