It made the company the first to successfully reach orbit on its first launch of an orbital-class rocket.

The two tech titans, known to be at loggerheads, seem to be warming up to each other thanks to their rocketry journey with SpaceX and Blue Origin.

A milestone moment for Blue Origin as New Glenn achieves orbital success, earning accolades from rival Elon Musk.

Named after the first American to orbit Earth, the New Glenn rocket blasted off from Florida, soaring from the same pad used to launch NASA’s Mariner and Pioneer spacecraft a half-century ago.

While Jeff Bezos has spent $14 billion to achieve his first space launch, his billionaire rival has built a thriving business, mostly with other people’s money.
