Blue Origin delays New Glenn rocket launch to 2027 after May explosion

Blue Origin has announced that its New Glenn rocket's launch will be delayed until January 2027, according to an internal memo from CEO Dave Limp. The delay is attributed to extensive repairs needed after an explosion in May 2026 damaged infrastructure in Florida. Despite these setbacks, Limp praised the team's progress, noting that significant repairs to the launchpad and vehicle access tower have been completed, with weather also contributing to the slower-than-anticipated timeline.
