New Glenn to make another launch attempt early Thursday

Weather conditions were not particularly favorable early on Tuesday.

Blue Origin announced late on Monday afternoon that it planned to make a second attempt to launch the New Glenn rocket at 1 am ET (06:00 UTC) on Tuesday. Blue Origin apparently felt good enough about those technical problems to work toward a second launch attempt early on Tuesday morning. This necessitated a 48-hour delay because a Falcon 9 rocket carrying two private lunar landers, one built by Firefly and the other ispace, is due to launch during a similar early morning window on Wednesday.
