They also have been developing the heavy-lift New Glenn rocket that is already competing against SpaceX and ULA for commercial and government launch contracts.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-9702\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Glenn will launch from Blue Origin\u2019s complex on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station which is not far from their New Glenn factory in Merritt Island, Florida. While New Glenn is almost 30 meters taller and twice as wide as SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket, Blue Origin plans to only recover the first stage in a similar fashion to SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX typically chooses names based on science fiction and puns compared to Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos who chooses to honor people (Alan Shepard, John Glenn). Continuing that tradition, Blue Origin will call its recovery ship <em>Jacklyn<\/em> in honor of Bezos\u2019 mother. <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-9702',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The massive ship that has been transformed into a seafaring landing pad near Pensacola will be the equivalent to SpaceX\u2019s droneship fleet used for landings.
