Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is set to launch its first ever orbital rocket next week, seeking to mark a pivotal moment in the commercial space race currently dominated by SpaceX owned

Beachside spectators have monitored the rocket and Launch Complex 36 pre-launch activities on the horizon for weeks, including a Dec. 27 hot-fire test.

New Glenn, a massive heavy-payload Blue Origin rocket, had its launch window moved back at least a couple of days.

Blue Origin put its orbital-class New Glenn rocket through its last major test in preparation for the rocket's first-ever launch.

We know it can be confusing to know where you should be looking as the rocket lifts off.

Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket comes in at a towering 320 feet tall — which is equivalent to a 32-story skyscraper. Still, it's overshadowed by SpaceX's Starship, which current launches from Texas and may launch from Kennedy Space Center in the coming years. Starship looms over all rockets throughout history at a whooping 395 feet tall.

New Glenn will lift off from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral with Blue Origin’s Blue Ring Pathfinder—a prototype spacecraft designed to host and transport up to 3,000 kilograms of payloads, refuel visiting spacecraft, and enable in-space computing and communications.

A rocket is expected to be launched at a launchpad in Florida that has been inactive for almost two decades. A new rocket about 98 meters long, developed by Blue Origin, is being prepared for the first flight,
