There is a good reason for that oddly suggestive size, though. New Glenn will lift off with 3.85 million pounds of thrust. That's not as powerful as Falcon Heavy's 5.1 million, but it's contained within a single structure (SpaceX uses three Falcon 9 rockets at its core). Blue Origin probably won't be first to the launchpad, though. While SpaceX has had to push back Falcon Heavy more than once, Bezos and crew are only promising that New Glenn will blast off from Cape Canaveral before the decade is out. At least there's more coming: the company is teasing a New Armstrong rocket sometime in the future.
