But late in the countdown, Blue Origin repeatedly pushed back the liftoff time, inching closer to the end of New Glenn's launch window at 4 am. "We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window," Blue Origin said in a statement. "The thing we're most nervous about is the booster landing," Bezos, who founded Blue Origin in 2000, told Reuters in a pre-launch interview. Getting the spacecraft to its intended orbit on an inaugural rocket launch would be a rare achievement for a space company. Bezos in late 2023 moved to speed things up at Blue Origin, prioritizing the development of New Glenn and its BE-4 engines.
