🚀 On Thursday, Jeff Bezos’ space venture, Blue Origin, unveiled the New Glenn 9×4—a souped-up version of its flagship rocket designed to challenge SpaceX’s dominance in the orbital launch market.
Here’s the scoop: the first stage will roar to life with nine engines, while the second stage packs four—each stage boosting its engine count by two compared to the current New Glenn design.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of New Glenn’s second mission success last week (Nov. 15). Blue Origin is now plotting a full family of orbital launchers, giving satellite operators more options—much like SpaceX’s Falcon lineup.
For young space enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and global investors, the New Glenn 9×4 signals fresh competition and innovation in the commercial launch arena. Who will take the lead in the next phase of the space race?
Stay tuned—the countdown to liftoff is only getting more exciting! 🌌✨
