Blue Origin prepares to launch its new rocket, New Glenn, from Cape Canaveral, competing with SpaceX.

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is set to launch its first orbital rocket, the New Glenn, from Cape Canaveral next week, marking a significant step in the commercial space race against Elon Musk's SpaceX. The rocket, at 320 feet, is designed to carry larger, heavier payloads and burns cleaner fuel. The launch will carry a prototype of Blue Origin's Defense Department-funded spacecraft, Blue Ring, on a six-hour test flight. If successful, New Glenn will offer the US government alternative systems for launching satellites, increasing competition in the market.
