I say it was pretty obvious New Glen would compete with Vulcan Centaur as its an good overlap in estimated capabilities. Still its no law saying you can not do this. ULA can complain that the engines was delayed who was an serious problem for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure because it is the first NG launch, I’m going to try to wake up and watch it live. But if it starts going into holds and such not sure if I won’t end up back asleep and catch the replay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) What is best venue to watch NG stream? The less chit chat, verbal and visual, the better (sorry NASASpaceflight) Edited January 13 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minmus Taster Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It's almost 12:20, if they scrub before even starting the stream I'll pull an all nighter out of hollow spite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I have the BO stream on, muted I am uninterested in patter. The stream on their site is apparently at a higher bitrate: https://www.blueorigin.com/missions/ng-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAL59 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Is launch in 11 minutes? Odd choice to not have a countdown onscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The coverage was annoying, I kept muting it. From what I have read this morning and what I saw on X last night they did not discuss what any of the issues actually were. Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
