An architecture expert has revealed the surprising story behind some of the phrases we use day-to-day, including when we say we're 'feeling blue' - and it's left people stunned
One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.
Blue Origin scrubbed a planned launch of its New Shepard rocket Tuesday due to persistent cloud cover at the west Texas launch site.
Blue Origin’s next flight will simulate the moon’s gravity and will fly 30 payloads, according to the company. The next New Shepard flight, NS-29, is scheduled for early next week. The launch window opens at 9 a.
NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland has ties to Tuesday morning's Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launch from the company's launch site in West Texas.
Blue Origin is key to Amazon's ability to compete with SpaceX Starlink. Jeff Bezos has finally done it. He's finally reached space with an honest-to-goodness orbital-class rocket. Ten years ago, Bezos ignited a feud with SpaceX founder Elon Musk when his Blue Origin rocket company launched a suborbital New Shepard rocket to the edge of space and then landed it back on Earth.
Going forward, SpaceX is likely to offer its gigantic Starship rocket as a competitor to New Glenn, and here, the advantage shifts back to SpaceX. Bigger than New Glenn (120 meters tall versus 98) and with a wider faring to encapsulate cargo (9 meters versus 7), SpaceX's Starship will boast a massive payload advantage over Blue Origin's new rocket.
Spider-Man has returned to the MCU, and his new look takes things back to basics with a unique version of the superhero's original designs.
Jared Isaacman's close relationship with SpaceX and its visionary founder, Elon Musk, suggests a major shift in priorities for NASA.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is plotting to challenge Elon Musk's Starlink in the UK broadband market, with plans to launch an alternative — dubbed Project Kuiper — as early as this year. Starlink uses satellites orbiting the Earth to power your home Wi-Fi connection,
If we're being frank, which is how we roll in the Rocket Report, some of Orbex's recent activity does not inspire confidence. The company, for example, suspended plans to develop a spaceport at Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands to focus resources on developing the Prime microlauncher.
