Blue Origin achieved a significant milestone by successfully launching and landing a previously flown New Glenn rocket booster for the first time. The vehicle, named "Never Tell Me the Odds," had previously completed its initial mission on the NG-2 flight in November 2025. After reaching orbit, the booster returned to Earth and executed a controlled splashdown on the ocean-based drone ship "Jacklyn." This marks the first instance of a reusable orbital rocket from Blue Origin completing both launch and recovery in a subsequent mission.
The event was captured in real time and shared through various platforms, including CNET’s Supercut video highlighting key moments such as liftoff, maximum dynamic pressure, and main engine cutoff.
