“Just copy-paste what they did.”
“But Jeff, even AMOS-6?”

The ULA sniper is back!
Definitely not norminal
This is a massive setback. To New Glenn itself, to rebuild the pad infrastructure, delaying the Blue Moon Mk1 launch, which has cascading effects for Mk2 and the crew and cargo delivery missions, further delaying their Amazon and AST satellite launches... This is big.
It's ok, we'll just cut of medicaid to a few more states to rebuild.
It's very important we go to the moon for some reason.
This was a private launch, so the person picking up the check is Jeff Bezos.
Despite the NASA budget being like 0.5% of the federal budget at like $25B, it does have room for improvement. One way they're doing that is giving the upstarts firm fixed price contracts, so NASA's main impact from this will just be the schedule hit. Compare that to programs like SLS and Orion from Boeing and Lockheed, which are perpetually late AND getting annual overruns and bonuses and presents just for scratching their asses.
Probably a counterfeit New Glenn. Should have ordered it at a reputable retailer or brick and mortar.
This is fine, it's within the return window and we can just put the pieces back in the box and drop off at Staples.
Why didn't they tow it outside the environment before it blew up?
