What Blue Origin New Glenn Debut Somehow Better than SpaceX Starship...
What an extraordinary week it has been, marked by two monumental launches from the giants of the U.S. space industry: Blue Origin’s New Glenn and SpaceX’s Starship Flight 7, taking place just hours apart. These two groundbreaking events, occurring just hours apart, have ignited spirited discussions within the space community. For some space enthusiasts, these represent victories for both companies, contributing to the collective progress of the industry. However, others argue that Blue Origin’s New Glenn debut was more successful than SpaceX’s Starship Flight 7.
So, how should we objectively assess this perspective?
And how did leaders like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos react to these events?

Rocket science has always been an exceedingly iterative process, one in which a whole lot of launches have to come to ruin before the engineers get things right. During NASA’s early days, nearly half of the Atlas boosters that lofted the Mercury astronauts into space failed their test flights before they were finally rated safe to carry men. The Titan missiles that launched the two-man Gemini crews practically shook themselves to pieces in their first uncrewed flights. And as for the celebrated Saturn 5, the magnificent machine that launched the Apollo astronauts to the moon?
“This was a disaster,” Chris Kraft, NASA’s director of flight crew operations, told the press in 1968 after the final uncrewed flight of the Saturn 5 almost ended in a crash landing in the ocean. “I want to emphasize that. It was a disaster.”

However, the Atlas, Titan, and Saturn rockets ultimately flew, and if spaceflight history is any guide, the explosions of new rockets often pave the way for their manufacturers to achieve success. This is precisely what we anticipate for Starship and New Glenn, as both rockets faced similar outcomes during their latest test launches.
On January 16, Blue Origin conducted the maiden flight of its New Glenn rocket, carrying a payload into space for the first time. With a strong start, New Glenn achieved success in its initial launch, as its upper stage successfully delivered the payload into orbit. However, the first stage, which was expected to land gently on a low-altitude barge, ended up plunging into the Atlantic Ocean.
