How Elon Musk SpaceX Catching Starship is much Better Than Blue Origin New Glenn: Skip Leg!
Blue Origin has just pulled off a perfect landing of the New Glenn booster onto the Jacklyn droneship, their first truly flawless attempt. It’s a big moment, and many people are calling it a breakthrough.
But here’s the thing: as impressive as it looks, this is something SpaceX has been doing for years. Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy have performed landings like this hundreds of times. And when it comes to Starship, SpaceX moved beyond this method a long time ago.
So why can’t New Glenn’s landing approach compare to Starship’s Mechazilla catch system?
Let’s dive into today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

Yes, Starship and New Glenn aren’t just heavy rockets; they’re both true super-heavy launch vehicles. And the moment they entered the scene, SpaceX and Blue Origin were locked into a no-nonsense rivalry. Competition is always healthy. Every time one side scores a breakthrough or hits a new milestone, both companies benefit, they push each other forward, day after day.
And just recently, after a long 10-month wait since New Glenn’s first flight, Blue Origin finally launched its second mission on the afternoon of November 13, just a few days ago. And to be fair, the results were well worth the wait.

The company chalked up two major achievements: a successful booster landing, and the flawless deployment of a NASA-support satellite for Mars research. Both achievements are undeniably impressive, especially considering Blue Origin pulled them off on only New Glenn’s second flight. But here’s the reality: these are things SpaceX has been doing for years, and doing constantly, every week, not once in a blue moon. It’s a reminder that hitting a milestone isn’t just about celebrating; it’s about understanding where you actually stand in the race.
