Dave Limp, CEO of Blue Origin, recently addressed employees regarding the New Glenn rocket's launch rate, revealing that the company will miss its target of eight launches this year. Originally set to launch in late spring, the second flight is now postponed to at least mid-August. The mission, named "Never Tell Me the Odds," aims to successfully land the booster. Despite producing eight GS2 stages, concerns remain about the timeline and achieving the planned launch cadence, which upset founder Jeff Bezos.
Dave Limp acknowledged that the rocket's next flight will now no longer take place until at least August 15, likely impacting launch targets.
Limp stated that landing and recovering the booster is a key mission objective, which will require excellent execution and a bit of luck.
