Blue Origin will probably launch New Glenn in early January. Like SpaceX's Falcon rockets the first stage is reusable. I think it is great that a second
company in the satellite launch market will be reusing stages. It will force SpaceX to keep up doing great work if they don't want to be surpassed.
SpasceNews says:
"The company has not disclosed a launch date for the inaugural flight, called
NG-1. However, there is one airspace advisory for a New Glenn launch Jan. 6 between 1 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. Eastern, with a backup opportunity at the same time the next day."

Are they attempting to land the first stage on the first try?!

Yep.
They do have some experience landing, but with a single hydrolox motor,
and a different trajectory. We'll see soon how much of a difference
that makes.

The first stage landing ship has left Port Canaveral for the Atlantic Ocean. I still haven't seen any official launch date announced, but Friday seems the
likely launch date. Of course, the first launch of a new type of rocket is quite frequently delayed.

I don't really know, but my understanding is that yes they will attempt to land the first stage on a barge
at the first flight. They are not necessarily
expecting a success, but I think they will try.

Yes, the 10th seems to be the consensus of observers pending official announcements.
The status of Starship flight 7 is similarly expected to be around the 10th pending official announcements.

Well, they tried. Eric Berger has heard that a vent line icing up
prevented lift off, and we await a new schedule.

Was it a called morning in Florida? Or due to the cryogenic

Made it an hour into the window on Jan 16; successfully reached orbit. First stage was doing fine well into the entry burn, but was not
recovered. Details pending. Payload activation details pending.
