"The primary goal of the mission was to reach orbit. Recovering the first stage would have been a bonus, but it was ultimately unsuccessful."
"Blue Origin was careful to manage expectations regarding the recovery of the first stage in the run-up to the launch, although it will need to crack that particular nut..."
"Making orbit on the first attempt is quite an achievement, although the BE-4 engines used by New Glenn's first stage have also seen action on United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Vulcan Centaur."
