Blue Origin has again postponed the second launch of its New Glenn megarocket. This time, it wasn’t bad weather or a wayward cruise ship that got in the way—it was an ongoing severe geomagnetic storm.
Blue Origin scrubbed once again its launch attempt for its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, this time blaming space weather.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket was scheduled for launch on Sunday (Nov. 9) but it has been delayed until Wednesday (Nov. 12) due to poor weather conditions. The launch will be the first big test for the rocket’s first NASA mission, and a statement of intent for the company’s founder Jeff Bezos against competitor SpaceX.
