New Glenn failed this time. There will be an investigation. There will be analysis. There will be some tests. Then they will return to flight. My speculation with very limited information(they didn't even update ng-3 page on the Blue website yet) would be: 2-3 months will be enough.
- They seem to have lots of data from the vehicle since it didn't explode or similar...
- Blue is focused on New Glenn right now so there will be great resources for this investigation.
- Money. They have money. They will beat the problem with Jeff's money if necessary:)
So, I am on the optimistic side of this situation. I think they will return with an Amazon Leo launch(might be somehow lower capacity payload than usual for the first launch).
