Article textJeff Foust 6–8 minutes WASHINGTON — After a successful second flight of New Glenn, including the first landing of the booster, Blue Origin is looking to perform its next launch early next year, possibly with the same booster. In an interview a day after the Nov. 13 NG-2 launch of New Glenn, Blue Origin Chief Executive Dave Limp said that while data reviews have only just started, the vehicle appeared to perform exactly as expected. “On the surface, it looks like a very nominal mission,” he said. The NG-2 launch successfully deployed NASA’s ESCAPADE mission, a pair smallsats that will head to Mars after spending a year in the vicinity of the Earth-sun L2 point. The upper stage also included a hosted payload from Viasat to test the ability to relay launch vehicle telemetry. The highlight of the mission, though, was the landing of the first stage on the company’s ship, Jacklyn, in the Atlantic a little more than nine minutes after liftoff. The stage descended to a point near the ship, then shifted over directly above the ship before landing. That maneuver, company founder Jeff Bezos said on social media was designed, to protect the ship and “avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly.” That offset, initially on the order of a hundred meters, will be decreased over time. Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by… pic.twitter.com/DCEMsuSyPm — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 14, 2025 The company had named the booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” but Limp said going into the flight he was optimistic the booster would land on the ship. “We had very good data and understanding of what needed to be done after the first flight,” he said, when the engines failed to relight for a reentry burn. Monte Carlo simulations “suggested we had a pretty good chance of landing. Not 100%, but it was much better than the first flight,” he said. The company still has to inspect the booster and determine how much refurbishment is needed for its next launch. The same booster could be used for the next New Glenn flight, although Limp said the company is still weighing using a new booster. “It’s kind of a toss up, because the third booster is pretty far along in manufacturing,” he said. While New Glenn boosters are ultimately designed to be turned around in two to three weeks, this booster will take longer since it is the first to be refurbished. Blue Origin expects the next flight of New Glenn to carry its Blue Moon Mark 1 uncrewed lunar lander. That lander is finishing development and will soon be shipped to the Johnson Space Center for thermal vacuum testing. “Assuming that stays on the schedule that we’re on right now, I think it’s likely our third mission” for New Glenn, he said. If Blue Moon’s schedule did slip, he said the company might fly another payload on the next New Glenn and move the lander to the fourth launch. Limp said Blue Origin was targeting “very early in the new year” for the next New Glenn launch. The company has not yet determined how many New Glenn launches it will put on the manifest for 2026. “We want to be very hardware rich next year,” he said, including being able to produce 20 second stages a year. “The question is, can we get to an operational cadence? And to me, that’s the next step that we’re going to have to sit down with the team.” There is, he noted, no shortage of demand for New Glenn in a launch-constrained market. “My phone has been fairly busy in the last 24 hours with customers coming out of the woodwork, which is a good problem to have.” One of the customers for New Glenn is the U.S. Space Force, which is in the process of certifying the vehicle for National Security Space Launch (NSSL) missions. In a statement after the NG-2 launch, the Space Force’s Space Systems Command said it was continuing the certification process but didn’t disclose details about the status of the process. Depending on the amount of government oversight, certification can take between 2 and 14 launches, Space Systems Command noted. Limp did not disclose which option Blue Origin was pursing but said that the two New Glenn launches now in the books will not be sufficient. “We will definitely have to fly again to get certification. Plus, there are just a lot of other things. There is paperwork involved,” he said. “But it’s all on track.” Artemis plans Limp also discussed in the interview the company’s work to develop a faster approach to returning humans to the moon. NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy said Oct. 20 he would “open up” SpaceX’s existing contract to land humans on the moon on Artemis 3 and directed both SpaceX and Blue Origin to develop “acceleration approaches” for their existing landing contracts. “They asked us, ‘Can you get to the moon faster?’” he said of NASA’s request. “My answer is, if the country wants it, yes.” He said Blue Origin submitted a concept that would get people back to the moon faster than the company’s current work on the Blue Moon Mark 2 lander, slated to make its first flight on Artemis 5 under a Human Landing System (HLS) contract. He added the NASA contract for Blue Moon Mark 2 calls for it to be ready in 2028 and that “we are on track to have our architectural pieces done for 2028.” “We believe that we have a simplified architecture that closes. We believe we can do it very quickly,” he said of the new approach. “The reason we can do it very quickly is that it uses the pieces and parts that we’re already working on, but with simpler conops and a simplified mission.” He didn’t go into details about that approach but said the company submitted a first draft of its approach to NASA and plans to provide a final version in about a week. Limp said that, even with the push for an accelerated return, the company is still interested in more sustained architectures for a long-term presence on the moon. “We are strong believers that the NASA should not get rid of the HLS contracts, because we do want sustainability,” he said. “But I also believe we want boots on the moon as quickly as possible. I think that’s important from a national prestige perspective, and there’ll be some science, and it’ll get our muscle back. It’s been a while since we’ve been to the moon.”

An alternate calendar system briefly used by republican France. It had 360 days per year with 5 or 6 “intercalary” or leap days between years. It had 12 months of 30 days, which were comprised by 3 weeks of 10 days. Every day of the year had a unique name: a common plant, animal, mineral, or tool/equipment (ie January 31 was “Broccoli” and May 4 was “Silkworm").

In August 2025, two nearly identical lawsuits were filed: one against United (in San Francisco federal court) and one against Delta Air Lines (in Brooklyn federal court). They claim that each airline sold more than one million “window seats” on aircraft such as the Boeing 737, Boeing 757, and Airbus A321, many of which are next to blank fuselage walls rather than windows.

Article textJeff Foust 4–5 minutes WASHINGTON — Virgin Galactic says it remains on schedule to complete development of its next-generation suborbital spaceplane and begin commercial flights before the end of 2026. In a Nov. 13 earnings call tied to its third-quarter financial results, the company said it expects to begin test flights of its first Delta-class spaceplane in the third quarter of 2026, with commercial research flights beginning in the fourth quarter. Virgin revised its schedule in August, pushing back the start of research flights from the summer to the fall because of issues producing the first carbon composite skins for the vehicle’s fuselage. The move from stating that research flights would begin in the fourth quarter, rather than the fall, is solely a change in terminology, argued Michael Colglazier, Virgin Galactic’s chief executive, on the call. “We’ve had feedback from customers and investors in the southern hemisphere who point out that fall in the U.S. is actually spring in other parts of the world.” In August, the company projected private astronaut flights would begin later in the fall of 2026 after research flights. Virgin Galactic now says private astronaut flights will begin six to eight weeks after the research missions, suggesting they could slip into 2027. Completion of the fuselage remains the critical path for finishing the first vehicle. “Our team is focused intensely on resolving the manufacturing and supply chain needs of the fuselage, with strong results,” Colglazier said. The first fuselage is now expected to be complete “just a bit earlier than we expected last quarter.” “We feel good and confident in our Q3 start of flight test,” he added. Virgin also said it completed upgrades to Eve, the carrier aircraft originally built for SpaceShipTwo and intended for use with Delta-class vehicles. Eve, which the company calls the launch vehicle for the spaceplane, has resumed test flights at Spaceport America in New Mexico. “This group executed on time and under budget while substantially improving each flight interval and inspection program,” Colglazier said. “I’m excited to say our launch vehicle is now capable of flying spaceships on successive days, and we’re planning to ramp to an average availability of three to four flights a week.” He said that, under the current schedule, most of the current backlog of private astronaut customers should be able to fly in 2027. The company is thus preparing to resume ticket sales in 2026. “I continue to expect it will be higher than the price of our last published price, which was $600,000,” Colglazier said. Virgin plans to sell an initial tranche of tickets, then reassess and adjust pricing for later tranches. “Our expectation is that will likely stair-step itself upward, but we’ll do that tranche by tranche.” Virgin Galactic reported $365,000 in revenue in the third quarter from customer access fees and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $52.8 million. The company ended the quarter with $424 million in cash and equivalents. “Our balance sheet remains strong in preparation for commercial service planned for later next year,” Chief Financial Officer Doug Ahrens said.
