Nearly 25 years after Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin, the company is finally poised to send its first rocket to orbit. New Glenn could lift off as early as next week.

Jeff Bezos’ aerospace firm Blue Origin fired up the engines on its latest rocket, the New Glenn, on Friday; A last test needed for the vehicle’s debut launch

Blue Origin, the private spaceflight company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, is on the cusp of launching into the big booster market with the debut of its New Glenn rocket next week, but exactly when the test flight will lift off is unclear.

New Glenn, a massive heavy-payload Blue Origin rocket, had its launch window moved back at least a couple of days.

But with Blue Origin's giant New Glenn soon to join the launch crowd, get ready for some spectacular launch viewing. The Blue Origin launch pad is perfectly poised for a stunning view of the entire liftoff.
