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

The first stage of New Glenn is reusable, landing on a platform in the ocean for maintenance, while the second stage is expendable to maximize efficiency.

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 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.

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.

Astrome Mechanica plans to focus on launching payloads into orbit as a specific use case for their versatile engine, similar to Tesla's strategy.

The cost of launching payloads into orbit has drastically decreased from $50,000 per kilogram to as low as $10 to $20 with advancements like SpaceX's Starship.

When the launch was successful, it was a great relief rather than elation, especially after proving the systems with subsequent astronaut missions.

The SpaceX launch of human beings to orbit on May 30th, 2020, marked the beginning of a new era in human space exploration, providing hope during a challenging time in history.
