Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin achieved a significant milestone on Sunday when it successfully recovered a previously-used New Glenn rocket booster following its launch.
The aerospace firm announced the achievement on social media platform X, celebrating what represents their first successful landing of a booster that had flown before.
“BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! ‘Never Tell Me The Odds’ has done it again!”, Blue Origin said in an X post.
The successful recovery represents a major step forward for Blue Origin’s reusable rocket program, as landing and reusing boosters is crucial for reducing launch costs in the commercial space industry.
