EDT Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025, Blue Origin, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, launched its 320-foot-tall New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (and many others) posted pics of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, named for astronaut John Glenn, on social after liftoff.

The New Glenn rocket was seen soaring into the sky above Cape Canaveral in Florida on Thursday after its earlier scheduled launch was abandoned due to a technical issue.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos founded the company 25 years ago. He took part in Monday’s countdown from Mission Control, located at the rocket factory just outside the gates of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Orlando, Florida.

People way outside Space Coast (Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola) may see Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket after Cape Canaveral liftoff.

The successful flight to orbit of the Amazon founder’s powerful rocket suggests it could grow into a credible competitor with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
