Blue Origin Has Lander Ambition and a New Glenn Problem

Blue Origin’s lunar work did not stop while New Glenn recovery work continued, which is the important part. Reporting this week said the company is pressing ahead with Blue Moon Mark 1 and Mark 2 development, including multiple landers in production, while still dealing with the aftermath of the May 28 New Glenn pad explosion. That keeps the lunar plan alive, but it also ties the schedule story to a launch system that still owes everyone a cleaner update.

Each claim is kept next to its source so the story never overstates what official evidence can actually prove.
