CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Blue Origin called off the launch of its giant New Glenn rocket carrying twin NASA Mars probes on Sunday (Nov. 9) due to bad weather at its Florida pad, one day before new federal restrictions take effect for commercial spaceflights.

Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin says it's willing to "move heaven and Earth" to get NASA to the lunar surface before the Chinese. "We just want to help the US get to the Moon," CEO Dave Limp said this weekend, Ars Technica reports. "And I think we have some good ideas."

“We just want to help the US get to the Moon,” said Dave Limp, CEO of the space company founded by Jeff Bezos. “If NASA wants to go quicker, we would move heaven and Earth, pun intended, to try to get to the Moon sooner. And I think we have some good ideas.”

The Cape's November launch schedule features the usual heavy dose of SpaceX Starlink internet satellite missions, headlined by Blue Origin's second New Glenn rocket liftoff. That massive machine will carry NASA's ESCAPADE spacecraft on a trek to Mars.

Blue Origin says it is working with the government to secure additional launch opportunities for the upcoming New Glenn launch of a NASA Mars mission.
