Blue Origin's New Glenn Launches, Impacts Crypto
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin successfully launched its New Glenn rocket on January 16, 2025, marking a significant milestone for the company and opening up competition with SpaceX in the commercial space industry. The rocket, named after astronaut John Glenn, reached orbit on its maiden flight but failed to recover its first-stage booster, which landed in the Atlantic Ocean instead. Despite this setback, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp expressed pride in achieving orbit and emphasized the learning opportunity the failed landing presents for future launches. This launch also saw the deployment of the Blue Ring Pathfinder, a technology demonstration platform, which performed well in orbit. The successful launch positions Blue Origin as a formidable player in space exploration and commercial satellite deployment, with ambitions to increase launch frequency and support missions to the moon. Elon Musk congratulated Bezos on the achievement, which notably influenced cryptocurrency markets, causing price surges in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
