Blue Origin
Watch different angles of New Glenn’s first liftoff
Late in the morning, Blue Origin performed New Glenn’s first-ever and successful liftoff from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Blue Origin’s founder Jeff Bezos and CEO Dave Limp have published different angles of New Glenn’s inaugural liftoff.

The liftoff ignited seven BE-4 engines at full power and took the rocket from the ground to space. The company conducted hot-staging and returned the first stage to Earth, unfortunately, it didn’t make it to the droneship.
Interestingly, all of the engines have been working well throughout the liftoff. Another shot from the rocket erector shows the engine burn and liftoff from the pad.
