Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Reusability is now demonstrated, but a destroyed sole launch site plus a wrong-orbit payload failure on the most recent flight make near-term availability and reliability unacceptable for committed payloads.
Next
Hold any manifest decisions until LC-36 (or an alternative pad) is rebuilt and New Glenn demonstrates a clean orbital insertion to the correct orbit post-incident.
