Can't wait to see this lighting up the sky. Will they be ambitious enough to go for a drone ship landing on the first attempt??
New Glenn launches NET Jan 10 from LC-36 carrying Blue Ring Pathfinder. The payload tests comms, power, and flight systems, validating orbital comms, telemetry, tracking, and ground systems. It will stay aboard the second stage for a 6-hour mission.

I said a few days ago that my view of IFT6 liftoff was better than the previous launch. True. But nothings gonna beat a view of that mammoth booster coming back for a catch between the chopsticks.

Better view of the launch than flight 5 (I dont know where that stalk of sea oats came from - it wasn't in the shot when I set it up 🌾), but unfortunately no catch attempt this time. I'll be back for 7.
