Jeff Bezos' Falcon 9-Style Rocket Reaches Orbit on First Try, But First Stage Recovery Fails
Briefly

"I'm incredibly proud New Glenn achieved orbit on its first attempt. We knew landing our booster, 'So You're Telling Me There's a Chance,' on the first try was an ambitious goal." - CEO Dave Limp
"New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines." - Blue Origin
"This week's launch has been a long time coming. The company has been facing many delays and scrubs before finally launching successfully."
