And the booster stuck the landing on the offshore barge. 10.0 from most judges, and even the Russian judge gave it a 9.9

Yeah, I was Mission Manager from 2018-2022 for ESCAPADE (the Mars mission) on that Blue Origin launch. Glad to see it have a successful launch!
I am painfully aware of how tall all the different rockets are thanks to my two year old’s YouTube interests
I was pretty shocked they stuck the landing. Their first launch of New Glenn wasn’t even close to landing the booster
Two observations. 10 years behind SpaceX in doing this. And why did they add a "cheer" audio track.
Bezos is so dang odd.

Cool. It was really great to see the launch succeed. I've not heard anything since the launch - are the payloads on their way yet?
Yes, they did have a successful deployment of the 2 ESCAPADE spacecrafts. they have identical spacecrafts that will give them a "stereo" affect on studying the Mars solar weather. They are going to be in a heliocentric Earth orbit for about 18 months before they use the Earth's gravitational force to catapult them towards Mars.
I just assumed you’d been drinking heavy and that’s how you say “Mars” when you’re drunk.
