Blue Origin delays mission due to weather

From Fox 35 Mission Control, Blue Origin may not fly again this year. The company has been racing to rebuild its launch pad after their rocket exploded back in May. Their goal was December, but that may not happen because of weather. Esther Bauer explains. Space sources tell me they're not really surprised to see this potential new Glenn launch slipping into next year. The company cannot afford a single error, so a few more weeks could ensure the company is successful. The construction's going well at Launch Complex 36. The tower is back up, but the timeline hit a snag. We've been hearing that likely slipping to January. Space sources saying the company was targeting soon after Christmas to launch, but may need a few more weeks because of weather. Not surprising. There's been a lot of different weather over the summer and the fall down in Florida, so they want to make sure everything's... Exactly the way it needs to be, right? Everything has to work because NASA needs this rocket to send its astronauts back to the moon. They can't have another failure. The Artemis program needs New Glenn to work. Blue Origin needs New Glenn to work. So they want to make sure everything is done right the first time. Space expert Zach Albert says he's watching closely to see when the rocket rolls back out. But we need to see a rocket on the pad. We need to see them go through tanking testing again. We need to see them do a pressure test. Those tests will be a telltale sign the company is really ready for liftoff. And NASA is working very closely with Blue Origin on this rebuilding process. Their team is actually checking in daily with Blue Origin to ensure they will get back to flight. Reporting in Brevard County, Esther Bauer, Fox 35 News.
