NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stated this week that Blue Origin has invested considerable resources into the cleanup of its launch pad following the explosion of its New Glenn rocket in late May. Isaacman described Blue Origin's response to the incident as impressive, noting that officials from the US Space Force have also been involved in the company's planning and recovery efforts since the anomaly during a test firing on May 28 that damaged the only operational launch pad for New Glenn. NASA relies on Blue Origin's Mk. 1 lander for cargo missions to the Moon and the Mk. 2 lander for future crewed lunar missions, with the New Glenn rocket expected to be crucial for launching both landers.
