After its rocket explosion, Blue Origin wants to complete repairs and put another New Glenn on the launchpad before the end of 2026, according to CEO Dave Limp. That's very ambitious.

Firing triple rocket pods used to equip fighter aircraft and escorting Marine helicopters, drones are changing the way U.S. military attack helicopters can do battle.

Hours after a Blue Origin rocket blew up on a Florida launch pad last month, a SpaceX rocket lofted a military payload from a nearby site—neatly illustrating concerns about whether the commercial launch industry can actually add providers quickly enough to match the Pentagon’s accelerating demands.

SpaceX has already sent 66 Falcon rockets skyward in 2026, putting the company on pace for roughly 145 missions this year, or about one launch every two and a half days. That rate would shatter the company’s own annual record and test the limits of federal environmental approvals that cap individual launch pads at far

China launched its partially reusable Long March 12B rocket for the first time ever on Monday (June 1), sending it up without issuing airspace closure notices ahead of time.

China's Long March 12B rocket has blasted off on its maiden voyage carrying more Qianfan "Thousand Sails" satellites, during a surprise launch for which there were reportedly no airspace notices.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin said Tuesday that last week’s rocket explosion spared fuel tanks and some other critical parts of the launch pad.
