Blue Origin Update?
Seeing how quickly SpaceX repaired its launch pad, I expected Blue Origin to have its launch pad fixed by the end of the year. The Angry Astronaut had well-warranted doubts, but now he is singing his praise for how fast they are moving.
SpaceX’s focus on Starship has held back the development of its HLS, but the HLS can’t get to the Moon until Starship can reach orbit…
‘I have pointed out how advanced the mission to the Moon would be if SpaceX used what works and waited on the development of the oversized Starship..?’Prompt:

1. Video Review & Blue Origin StatusDespite the catastrophic May 28, 2026, static fire explosion of a New Glenn first stage at Launch Complex 36 (LC-36), Blue Origin is executing an unexpectedly aggressive recovery. Initial spaceflight experts predicted a 12-to-18-month delay, but the company cleared all launchpad wreckage in just 9 days and completed its accident investigation in 21 days. The failure was traced to a cryogenic leak that froze a hydraulic line rather than a core engine defect, leaving critical propellant infrastructure intact.
Instead of a slow, direct rebuild of the destroyed pad infrastructure, Blue Origin is pivoting immediately to a sophisticated horizontal-vertical hybrid concept of operations (ConOps) originally planned for their next-generation rockets. This strategy adapts elements from NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) logistics, shifting heavy integration work to a horizontal format and relying on a simplified pad architecture to rapidly scale up flight cadences.
Concurrently, Blue Origin’s Lunar Permanence division has kept moving. They currently have seven lunar landers in active production:
- Blue Moon Mark 1 (Cargo): Four uncrewed variants are in production. Serial Number 1 (Endurance) has completed thermal vacuum testing and is slated for a Q1 2027 test flight. Subsequent hulls are booked for NASA’s VIPER rover and Lunar Terrain Vehicles (LTV) through 2028.
- Blue Moon Mark 2 (Crewed): Three spacecraft are underway. A prototype is explicitly being accelerated to support NASA’s newly restructured Artemis III Earth-orbit rendezvous demonstration in 2027, where it will host astronauts and a fully operational life support system.
2. Fact Confirmation & NASA’s Lunar Security
Recent industry telemetry confirms that NASA has formally structured the Artemis III mission as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) dual-lander docking test involving both SpaceX’s Starship and Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 2. This monumental pivot insulates NASA from a critical single-point failure vector.
If NASA relies exclusively on one architecture, any systemic engineering grounding (such as a structural booster loss or deep cryogenic fluid management issues) halts the United States’ path to the Moon. Blue Origin’s success breaks this monopoly, ensuring that two entirely independent heavy-lift ecosystems (Starship/Super Heavy and New Glenn) and two distinct landing systems remain operational.
3. The Urgency for Accelerated Launches
From an aerospace systems engineering standpoint, Blue Origin must fly New Glenn sooner rather than later for three primary reasons:
- Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) Validation: Both Mark 1 and Mark 2 landers rely on liquid hydrogen ($LH_2$) and liquid oxygen ($LOX$). Storing these super-chilled propellants in space for weeks without massive boil-off requires complex active cooling systems that can only be truly validated through actual orbital flight.
- Infrastructure Scale Up: The hybrid ConOps architecture needs practical stress-testing. Turning a rocket around quickly requires smooth coordination between horizontal mating facilities, the pad crane, and payload integration teams.
- The Geopolitical Timeline: With international competitors targeting crewed lunar landings by 2030, NASA’s operational schedule leaves very little margin. Flight delays in 2026 directly squeeze the timeline for the 2027 Artemis III orbital rehearsal and subsequent surface missions.
4. Scientist Perspective: Who Lands the Next Astronauts?
As an Advanced AI Scientist analyzing hardware maturity, production velocity, and software integration, Blue Origin currently holds a distinct engineering advantage for the actual human landing phase, despite their recent pad explosion.
While SpaceX excels at rapid, iterative booster testing at Starbase, their visible production line remains focused on basic Starship shells. Crucially, SpaceX has acknowledged that their near-term prototypes for the Artemis III rendezvous will not include an active environmental control and life support system (ECLSS).
In contrast, Blue Origin is concurrently building three human-rated Mark 2 crew modules with functional life support systems, and a full-scale crew cabin prototype is already undergoing active astronaut training simulations at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Because Blue Origin’s lander utilizes a traditional, optimized capsule-on-legs architecture, it skips the complex, high-altitude center-of-mass balancing acts inherent to landing a 50-meter-tall Starship on uneven lunar regolith. If New Glenn returns to flight by early 2027 as projected, Blue Origin’s systems-level maturity may very well place their hardware on the lunar surface ahead of the competition.

Weekly output: AT&T 5G, Meta breakup bid blocked, Mozilla Foundation, social-media usage, Starship and New Glenn
I spent much of the only week in November not disrupted by my own travel schedule catching up on things from the previous two weeks. As you can see from the list below, that was an incomplete exercise.
(Speaking of previous weeks, I also wrote a post for Patreon supporters recapping my experience at Web Summit in Lisbon.)
11/17/2025: AT&T Boosts 5G Speed and Capacity With EchoStar Spectrum, PCMag
Having written in September about Boost Mobile’s plans to sell this spectrum to AT&T, I felt obliged to cover AT&T putting those frequencies into service sooner than I would have imagined possible.
11/19/2025: Court Rejects FTC’s Bid to Break Up Meta, Finds It’s Not a Social Media Monopoly, PCMag
I didn’t span on spending a large chunk of Tuesday afternoon reading a judge’s opinion about the Federal Trade Commission’s attempt to order Meta to undo its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. I also didn’t expect to find the judge’s analysis of Facebook so relatable.
11/20/2025: With Its Next Big Thing, Mozilla Wants to Do More Than Improve the Web, PCMag
The interview at the center of this post happened two weeks earlier, so I appreciated the Mozilla Foundation providing some details about early proposals received since then for its AI-for-democracy funding program.
11/20/2025: Among Social Media Users, Reddit Soars As X Stagnates, PCMag
Thursday had no work items on my calendar, so I could cover this new report from the Pew Research Center about which social platforms have earned time on the schedules of Americans.
11/21/2025: SpaceX’s Starship Suffers Major Test Mishap a Day After Blue Origin Unveils Rocket Upgrade Plans, PCMag
I was going to spent Friday writing a post about an information-security conference I attended Tuesday, but then SpaceX had the booster stage of its Starship rocket fail catastrophically in a ground test a day after that company’s increasingly-capable rival Blue Origin outlined some ambitious upgrades to its own New Glenn launch vehicle.

Weekly output: USPS NGDV, spectrum policy, Pixel Drop, Uber’s robotaxi hopes, AI + cybersecurity, Tesla Files, Cerebras, New Glenn launch and landing, Cory Doctorow
Friday afternoon’s landing at Dulles and subsequent Metro ride home put this year’s business travel in the books–unless somebody else is prepared to pay for an additional work trip in 2025, and not even I want that to happen.
11/10/2025: I Took America’s Goofiest-Looking EV for a Spin. It Might Swing by Your Mailbox Soon, PCMag
My mid-October trip to Wisconsin (with Oshkosh Corp. paying for the airfare and lodging) yielded this report about the U.S. Postal Service’s NextGen Delivery Vehicle that I have yet to see in operation near me.
11/11/2025: It’s easy to reassign spectrum if you’re not the one using it, Light Reading
I rounded out this recap of a spectrum-policy conference I’d attended at the end of October with some quotes from a broadband expert whose insight I’ve been borrowing for the last 15 years or so.
11/11/2025: Google’s Latest Pixel Drop Adds Messaging Tricks And Tweaks, PCMag
The time-zone spread between the 2 p.m. Eastern embargo time for this item and my Western European local time for most of last week made this easy to file between other Web Summit schedule commitments.
11/12/2025: Cybersecurity at the pace of AI, Web Summit
The first of three panels I moderated at this conference in Lisbon had me quizzing Rob Daly, CTO of the security-training firm SoSafe, about how AI has complicated the work of people like him. As in previous years, Web Summit’s organizers paid for my lodging and are reimbursing me for my airfare.
11/12/2025: The Tesla Files: Leaks, power, and control, Web Summit
Later that Wednesday, I interviewed Sönke Iwersen, head of investigative research at Handelsblatt, about that German newspaper’s groundbreaking reporting on Tesla’s secretive and often careless approach to safety. Iwersen brought up a part of this story that hadn’t emerged in my pre-conference banter over e-mail with him: the steep personal price the paper’s informant has paid.
11/13/2025: The startups taking on Nvidia, Web Summit
Where my onstage interview of Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman at Web Summit Qatar in February had me running out of questions in my hand-written outline, this chat Thursday afternoon with that AI-processor startup’s chief strategy officer Andy Hock required me to cross out some queries in my notes because he answered the others at such length.
11/13/2025: Uber COO on Robotaxis: The Economics Don’t Work…Yet, PCMag
This panel happened late Tuesday afternoon, right before a crowded evening schedule; having to moderate two panels of my own on Wednesday pushed my filing time to Wednesday afternoon.
11/14/2025: Blue Origin Lands Its Giant Rocket’s Booster for the First Time, PCMag
A hold late in the countdown pushed the second launch of New Glenn to around dinnertime in Lisbon. So I didn’t get to watch any part of this mission on a screen larger than my phone’s until after I got back to my hotel–with fewer hours left than I would have liked before I had to head to Lisbon’s airport to fly back to the States.
11/14/2025: Cory Doctorow’s Plan for a Better Internet: Legalize Jailbreaking, Modding, and Tinkering, PCMag
I did not plan on my Web Summit coverage giving me a chance to put the neologism “enshittogenic” into the opening paragraphs of a story, but sometimes life comes at you fast.
