Updates Blue Origin announces the New Glenn Orbital Launch Vehicle

MECO (that was pretty), sep and GS-2 ignition!
 
Massive pitch up on the GS-2.... but stable so far
 
Tracking GS-1 coming down, reentry burn coming up
 
Ignition 3 engines!
 
Landing burn ignition!
 
Thats a landing gear you can trust. :ROFLMAO:

Nice first landing.
 
SECO-1!
12 minutes until the final burn
 
Dang it, missed the entire launch. Why do I have to take the train :(

Well, congrats to BO and everyone who worked hard, SpaceX doesn’t seem so dominant anymore…
 
Woah, what a landing! I initially thought that the booster missed the barge, but glad to have been wrong!
It seems they follow the profile of New Shepard: aim just off the landing pad (so in case of failure they don't have to rebuild it), then hover over to the pad, and descent.
 
...and SECO-2!
Deployments at T+33:18 and T+33:48
 
In separation attitude. Wonky video, but should be good enough to see the probes separate.
