> Blue Origin said the 9×4 model will be capable of carrying more than 70 metric tons to low Earth orbit (vs. 45 tons for the 7×2), more than 14 tons to geosynchronous orbit, and more than 20 tons on a trip from Earth to the moon. That would make New Glenn 9×4 more powerful than SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket (64 tons to LEO), but less powerful than SpaceX’s Starship (100 to 150 tons to LEO).

<p>I love space technology. I grew up in a rocket family with my dad being a rocket scientist. So, space and aerospace technologies have always fascinated me. I want to call out that we live in one of the most exciting times for aerospace flight. Space X and  now, Blue Origin are truly stretching the limits of possibility. I wish Blue Origin all the best. </p>
