Potential New Glenn first stage flight hardware spotted outside at @blueorigin’s campus near the Kennedy Space Center.
This looks to be the LNG/LOx tank section of the first stage – now sporting a much anticipated livery.

Spaceflight photographer Max Evans captured this rare view of Blue Origin’s upcoming New Glenn rocket, or, more specifically, the suspected first stage section. The heavy-lift launch vehicle, years behind schedule, is now expected to debut in August 2024, catapulting NASA’s EscaPADE spacecraft on a journey to Mars.
