SpaceX has confirmed Flight 7 will be no earlier than Monday, Jan. 13 from Boca Chica, Texas.) Coming soon to American launch pads: the competition of the heavy lifters as Jeff Bezos' New Glenn and Elon Musk's Starship may take to the skies within a very close timespan.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin could revolutionize the space industry with its New Glenn rocket. Here's how it stacks up against SpaceX's Falcon 9.

“This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it,” Jarrett Jones, senior vice president of New Glenn, said in a statement. “But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations are a replacement for flying this rocket. It’s time to fly. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch.“

Nearly 25 years after Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin, the company is finally poised to send its first rocket to orbit. New Glenn could lift off as early as next week.

A static fire test of the New Glenn rocket, which involved unauthorized use of a deluge system, cost the company $3,250.

Doing that on a maiden flight would be unprecedented: that kind of partial reusability was pioneered by SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket firm, and it required several attempts before eventually sticking the landing in 2016.
