Despite their slow and steady approach, Blue Origin has had a launch
failure, dropping AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Block 2 FM2 into the
initial orbit and losing power in the orbit raising burn.
But they did recover the other expensive part ... GS1-SN002 Never Tell
Me The Odds landed on the recovery ship Jacklyn, and this was actually
the second time! (And yes, this is the second Noogle booster to fly.)
