I went to bed too, figuring there would be a replay of the video on BO's web site. Nope. Had to do a search, it's on YouTube...
Thank you for the lovely pictures. I take back everything I said about not being able to see well at a night launch.
Dunno about majestic, but it was heart stopping! Slower than a Delta IV Heavy. Wow.0-60 in 18 seconds! I think you could beat that with a VW bus. It is a majestic liftoff.
Someone did, with stages too. They haven't succeeded yet, though, idk where the thread isSo who's going to be the first to build a seven cluster New Glenn?
Or has somebody already done it?
With Blue Thunder motors?
It would be a crime to use anything but blue motors in that rocket.With Blue Thunder motors?

NO!!!!! I REFUSE TO LET IMPERIAL GET IN THE WAY OF A FUN TIME!!!!!Aha, per Manley's quick calc, liftoff thrust/weight = 1.2 or even a little less. Try getting that past your RSO, ha.
I actually am glad that in the broadcast they used imperial units, a good idea for an American audience. I mean, especially given the public's familiarity with math, best to go with what's intuitive and known. (Wish climate communicators would do likewise.)
In Manley's video he made a comment that cracked me up.I actually am glad that in the broadcast they used imperial units, a good idea for an American audience.
Metric with a British accent is the ultimate for “having more expertise”.In Manley's video he made a comment that cracked me up.
Something to the effect of "The person at mission control struck me as having more expertise since he was speaking metric".
