Blue Origins rocket launch just got postponed. Heres why.
Jeff Bezos' rocket isn't going to be taking to the skies just yet.
In the early hours of Monday morning Blue Origin announced that New Glenn, a reusable rocket set to launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, would not be going anywhere today due to a "vehicle subsystem issue".

"We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window," reads the post. "We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt."
New Glenn's launch had already been pushed back several times before the announcement. The rocket would have been Blue Origin's first to reach orbit, with a reusable booster aiming to land on a platform in the Atlantic.
