SMRTR summary
Blue Origin successfully test-fired the seven BE-4 engines on its second New Glenn rocket for 38 seconds Thursday night at Cape Canaveral, marking the final major test before launch. The engines generated nearly 3.9 million pounds of thrust, with engineers extending the test to simulate the booster's planned ocean landing sequence. The rocket could launch as soon as November 9 carrying two NASA Mars-bound spacecraft.
