📦 Blue Origin's latest setback, Unlocking Bennu, SpaceX tries again

If, like me, you were stoked to see Blue Origin's New Shepard blast off, it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer until they decide it's time to hit the skies. NASA thought they were in the clear after the Bennu asteroid retrieval mission, but nope! Now they're on another mission to delicately open the tiny canister without messing up the samples. And big cheers to SpaceX—they're gearing up for round five with the mysterious U.S. Space Force spaceplane launch on December 28. Hopefully, they'll make it!

Sadly, we must save our excitement for later as Blue Origin's New Shepard launch has been scrubbed at the very last minute due to a ground system issue. A new date is yet to be announced.

SpaceX has announced it aims to launch its Falcon Heavy mission on December 28, carrying the X-37B spaceplane for the U.S. Space Force. Will the fifth attempt be the charm?
