INTRO hey what's up everyone welcome back to no cookies where we break down the latest in Tech and space exploration No Frills just the facts I'm Mark and today we're talking about something huge in the space World blue origin is targeting mid October for the inaugural flight of THE NEW GLENN ROCKET its massive new Glenn rocket and it's going to be carrying NASA's Escapade Mars mission on board let's dive in so what makes new Glenn so special first off this isn't just any rocket it's blue Origins answer to the heavy lift Rockets out there like spacex's Falcon heavy standing at 313 ft tall new Glenn is designed to be reusable just like the Falcon 9 which means lower costs and more frequent trips to space but what sets it apart is its massive payload capacity able to lift nearly 50 tons to low earth orbit that's some serious Firepower but it's not just about getting things into orbit blue origin is eyeing missions far beyond like lunar NASA'S ESCAPADE MARS MISSION Landings and eventually Mars this first launch is a critical test to see if new Glenn can live up to the hype on board for this inaugural flight is NASA's Escapade Mission now Escapade isn't just another Mars Rover it's a dual spacecraft Mission that's set to explore the Martian atmosphere the mission's goal to better understand how solar wind interacts with Mars's magnetosphere key knowledge for future crude missions to the red planet these twin spacecraft will orbit Mars in a way that gives scientists a unique three-dimensional IMPACT AND FUTURE MISSIONS view of these interactions it's Cutting Edge stuff and another step closer to humans setting foot on Mars segment three impact and future missions October's launch isn't just a big deal for blue origin it's a big deal for space exploration as a whole if successful new Glenn will join the ranks of rockets capable of heavy lift missions opening the door for more ambitious Pro projects think lunar bases space stations and yes missions to Mars and with NASA's Escapade Mission riding along we're set to learn more about Mars OUTRO than ever before bringing us one step closer to making Humanity a multiplanetary species all right that's it for today's breakdown if you're as excited as I am to see new Glenn take to the skies hit that like button and make sure you're subscribe to no cookies for all the latest updates in Tech and space what do you think about blue Origins Chances with new Glenn drop your thoughts in the comments below I'm curious to hear what you guys think until next time this is Mark signing off [Music]
