Blue Origin's first mission in more than 15 months was officially delayed on Monday (Dec. 18) after a last-minute scrub.
Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital vehicle was originally supposed to lift off as early as 9:30 a.m. EST (1430 GMT or 8:30 a.m. EST) on Monday. Following a one-hour delay due to cold temperatures at the company's West Texas site, however, Blue Origin announced a scrub on X, formerly known as Twitter.
