Blue Origin thread.

The New Glenn rocket is set to launch no earlier than Sunday, Jan. 12 from Launch Complex 36 at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

 

The three-hour launch window will open at 1 a.m.

 

The launch was originally scheduled for Friday at the same time, but was postponed due to "high sea state in the Atlantic."

... 

The primary payload for NG-1 is the Blue Ring Pathfinder, which will undergo tests of its core flight systems, ground operations and overall capabilities.

 

In addition, the company will try to land its booster offshore in an attempt to test its reusability.

I’m still not a fan of those narrow stance professor gadget landing legs.  Especially not for a barge landing.  We’ve all seen the F9s with their wide stance get little tippy during and just after landing before getting secured to the barge.  Then there are the rough seas out there lately.

I’m guessing they will approach the bullseye on the barge with high probability, but stability during and after landing is a crap shoot
