    FYI upper stage fail to insert the satellite into a normal orbit. Insurance will flip the bill.

    The mission literally failed

      But at a cheaper cost than it could have been and since this is still relatively new to Blue Origin (and humankind) it was still PROGRESS!!!!

    • @CNET

      April 20, 2026 at 7:22 pm

      They were able to launch and land a reusable rocket.

      @C@CNET you can’t deliver a multi million dollar satellite, it’s just a useless firework. In the early 80s, the space shuttle was reusing the side booster rockets. They simply landed by parachute instead. Both require comparable retrofitting to operate again

    I’m tired of these lies 🫩. Why can’t people in power just admit that we can’t leave earth. We are trapped. God made a barrier so humans don’t mess up with creation. 🫩

      The only thing God did on purpose was make the laws of physics, everything else is randomness and chance. He did not “purposely” make any barrier. We can do whatever we want as long as we can live with the consequences

    this one looks like less like weiner than New Shepard*. maybe a long one

  12. @D0Mlas360

    April 20, 2026 at 8:49 pm

    Yeah, delivering the payload on the Stage 2 rocket failed to deliver in the trajectory, so it was a failed mission

    • @colors6692

      April 21, 2026 at 9:32 pm

      Excellent mission, learned so much from this mission. Blue Origin for the win.

    • @drjesubalan639

      April 22, 2026 at 2:33 am

      It may have failed in insertion of payload in orbit but it successfully landed with precision which is impressive feat.

    Why do they not simply land them using parachutes instead? Won’t that be simpler to execute? This looks cooler though but I am more simplicity over aesthetics.

    • @Uc000f

      April 21, 2026 at 6:37 am

      Weight. You probably need a terribly big Shute to stop the rocket safely. More weight and size, less space

    • @tinasheroy

      April 21, 2026 at 7:31 pm

      The boosters are way too heavy for chutes to precisely and gently land them without any damage

  15. @J.J.A.S

    Excelente video, gracias por el audio en español

  16. @D.u.d.e.r

    April 21, 2026 at 8:37 am

    Beautiful, but I never understood their approach to land on the ship instead of solid & stable ground on land. It doesn’t make sense to land on the water, however it’s even more impressive to calculate possibility of slightest waves rocking the ship🤔

    • @robf8349

      April 21, 2026 at 5:26 pm

      Huge performance costs to return to pad for landing plus safer to do it at sea.
