Blue Origin finally Launched Again But Parachute failed...Elon Musk laughs!
After a week of grappling with avionics issues that thwarted the January 28 launch attempt, Blue Origin did not waste our time anymore.
""and lift off"".
On January 4, Jeff Bezos's rocket company successfully launched their reusable New Shepard suborbital spacecraft for the 29th time.
They also shared a video recap of the flight from liftoff to landing on X but ironically, they chose to omit a critical detail: a main parachute on the crew capsule encountered difficulties during landing.
In fact, the problem with parachutes is nothing new in space travel, but the big elephant in the room here is Blue Origin's decision to hide this issue which inadvertently exposed a significant flaw in their technology.
Stay tuned as we uncover all the details in today’s episode!
Anyway, our next goal is 100,000, and we need your support to get there. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do! We appreciate your help—thank you!

The February 4 launch kicked off Blue Origin's uncrewed NS-29 mission aimed to mimic lunar gravity conditions for two minutes, by spinning New Shepard's capsule at a rate of 11 revolutions per minute, which the capsule achieved by firing its reaction-control thrusters.
""For this flight, we enhanced our capabilities by spinning the capsule 22 times faster than usual. It took us just over 20 seconds to reach full spin and begin providing our customers a simulated lunar gravity environment for over two minutes before we slowed it down for re-entry."" Blue Origin's CEO, Dave Limp wrote on X.
New Shepard's two stages including a booster and a capsule — separated on time a little over 2.5 minutes after liftoff. The booster came back to Earth for a vertical touchdown on a landing pad a little over seven minutes later, and the capsule followed suit with a parachute-aided touchdown in the dusty West Texas desert around 10 minutes after launch.

Those are recorded in the video of the launch published by the company, but some viewers questioned why the video did not share any footage of the capsule rotating despite this being the main goal of the launch. Additionally, sources also revealed a significant failure of one of the three main parachutes on the New Shepard crew capsule. Specifically, during landing, a parachute was a bit slow to inflate, but finally ""realized"" and worked, helping the capsule to have a soft touchdown. Ironically, this view was also cut in the video. Although that problem didn't affect the landing phase, and during the company's live stream of the flight, launch commentators stressed that the capsule was designed to land safely with less than three of its parachutes, it would be odd if Blue Origin didn't mention anything surrounding that setback. This is in contrast to SpaceX's open attitude for failure.
Perhaps, so far, parachutes remain a dead end for Blue Origin. They used to encounter issues with parachutes in New Shepard's NS-25 Mission on May 19, 2024, when one of the parachutes on the New Shepard capsule did not open during landing. This malfunction occurred due to a tape that controls the parachute's inflation not being cut. Despite this, the capsule managed a safe landing with only two parachutes deployed. Blue Origin didn't make the problem public, but informed NASA of the anomaly, given the relevance of similar components in other spacecraft like Boeing's Starliner."
