Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, is set to launch its first orbital rocket this month, marking a significant milestone in its nearly 25-year history. The launch, which is anticipated to take place no earlier than January 6, aims to establish Blue Origin as a competitor in the currently SpaceX-dominated launch industry. The company is gearing up for this consequential event amid growing excitement within the aerospace community. Additionally, SpaceX is also planning to demonstrate payload deployment using its Starship for the first time soon. This year is poised to be pivotal for both companies.
