Interesting that "...additional vehicle upgrades include a reusable fairing..."

I wonder how they'll be implementing that since SpaceX gave up on recapturing fairings (seemingly too soon, but only from the POV of someone with no internal info).

kanisae•1h ago
They still recover the fairings. They gave up on trying to catch them out of the air and now just let them land in the water and pick them up.
ceejayoz•56m ago
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_fairing_recovery_progra...

> SpaceX performs some amount of cleaning and refurbishing before using the previously flown fairings on a subsequent flight. SpaceX has reflown fairing halves more than 300 times, with one being reflown for 34 times.

They gave up on catching them in nets, because it turns out they're fine splashing directly into the water.

For those who aren’t aware, the next flight is to lunar orbit, with a planned landing on the moon:

That seems like a big jump between flights. I'm used to the spend and explode fast incremental iterations of SpaceX.
dylan604•36m ago
Seems BO is taking the NASA approach of not being so cavalier with testing. You can tell people you expect the thing to fail, but repeatedly seeing them fail is still seen as a negative.
ceejayoz•26m ago
It worked pretty well for F9.
BoredPositron•17m ago
Mostly because the whole landing thing was pretty novel.
WorkerBee28474•11m ago
NASA still had much smaller jumps in capability between flights. Check out the Smarter Every Day NASA talk.
SilverElfin•25m ago
I was thinking the same thing - big leap. But maybe there’s no real difference between ending up in Earth orbit versus lunar orbit, in that the basic aspects (thrust, staging, navigation, etc) are all there already? But everything relating to the lander (releasing it, landing it) would be new.
proee•4m ago
I think SpaceX is taking the re-usability part of Starship as foundation. Meaning they won't move forward until it's solved. With Falcon they added it as a bit of a secondary priority. They've spent so much resources trying to get the second stage back to earth. I think they should have just focused on getting the whole system flying to orbit, throwing away second stage for now, and using that platform to replace falcon. Eventually, they could refactor second stage to get it back to earth. But perhaps it's all too coupled that it has to be solved at one time (not later).
gangstead•46m ago
The incremental improvements to the engine thrust is par for the course. The exciting thing in this announcement is the new 9x4 configuration (9 and 4 engines in the first and second stages vs the current 7x2). They don't mention whether the tanks will get stretched to allow for more fuel, or if this just burns the fuel faster. Starship generations keep getting both more engines and longer.
zaphoyd•40m ago
Based on the photo posted by the Blue Origin CEO the tanks are definitely getting stretched (also looks like a slightly different fin, landing leg, and fairing config)
DennisP•27m ago
Yep, 70 tons to LEO is more than the Falcon Heavy.
bryanlarsen•19m ago
Yup, the thrust improvements were expected. The BE-4 engines have quite a low chamber pressure for their engine class, so they can gain significant performance just by increasing chamber pressure.

Additionally, the New Glenn fairings are very large for their weight capacity. New Glenn has 3x the fairing volume compared to the Falcon Heavy, but can throw less mass. So many expected that BO designed it this way because they expected to increase performance of their engines in the future, making the weight/volume ratio of their fairing more balanced.

New Glenn has 45t of capacity now. Increasing thrust by 15% should increase that to 51t, thus making New Glenn 7x2 also just barely a Super Heavy booster. Perhaps they didn't call that out because that would overshadow the 9x4 announcement.
