"It's Like a Firework, But Bigger and has a Carburetor!"
Tomorrow morning (4/18/26) the Twitch channel will be streaming the next Blue Origin launch. This will be the second launch of The New Glenn booster" Never Tell Me The Odds!" which will be launching a Blue Bird COMSAT. The launch window is 6:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. EDT (10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. UTC) so the stream will begin around 06:30a.m. EDT /10:30a.m. UTC. This is the first re-use of a New Glenn booster! Blue Origin is a competitor to Space-X and competition is a good thing, as it potentially gives more options and redundancy in the upcoming Moon and Mars endeavors. This class of rocket is slated to land the Blue Moon lunar probe at Shackleton Crater (lunar south pole) later this year. Also: Blue Origin is a division of a massive Mega-Corporation that might, or might not be affiliated with Twitch so everyone be there, show support and under no circumstances be the first to stop clapping for this pyrotechnic display by Mr. Bezos. I'll be providing my usual commentary squarely at the intersection of Dunning and Kruger and we'll do something after the fireworks have subsided.
