The BE-3U engines, used in the second stage of New Glenn, produce 160,000 pounds of thrust and are designed for high efficiency with liquid hydrogen as the propellant.

The first launch of New Glenn is scheduled for 2024, and while I'm optimistic, I'm not certain about the payload for that mission.

The New Glenn rocket's booster is powered by seven BE-4 engines, each producing over 550,000 pounds of thrust, fueled by liquefied natural gas and liquid oxygen.

New Glenn is a heavy lift launch vehicle capable of carrying about 45 metric tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

New Glenn generates about 3.9 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, which is a little more than half the thrust of the Saturn V Rocket.

The goal of SpaceX is to advance rocket technology, particularly by developing a rapidly and fully reusable rocket, which is essential for humanity to become a space-faring civilization.

The big innovation in space travel is making rockets reusable, which could lead to a 100-fold improvement in the cost of spaceflight.

To become a space-faring civilization, we must solve the problem of rocket reusability, as all other modes of transport are reusable.

Hydrogen is a great propellant for upper stages due to its high specific impulse, but it's not ideal for booster stages because it requires large storage tanks.
