Blue Origin has for the first time landed the booster rocket for its largest spacecraft in a step forward for Jeff Bezos’s space venture as it tries to rival Elon Musk’s SpaceX in the satellite launch market. The company launched its 98-metre rocket called New Glenn from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 3.55pm on Thursday, several months later than planned and nearly a year after Blue Origin conducted its inaugural flight. https://on.ft.com/4nQA9IV | Financial Times
