By most accounts, this is a risky move for Blue Origin—and especially for NASA—when you consider the work ahead for the launch company.

Blue Origin has set a very aggressive return-to-flight timeline
The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen, and LNG tanks are all in good shape."

First look at LC-36 shows unrecognizable pieces of New Glenn scattered everywhere. While 1 of the lightning towers is still standing, it is heavily damaged. The Transporter-Erector and other lightning tower are completely destroyed. On a positive note, the tank farm looks ok. 📸 Asher B.

This is remarkably bad for Blue Origin, and possibly even worse for NASA.

Starship Booster 19, Day 2 of testing got off to a late start, giving us a sunset tanking start, ending with a possible spin prime test, before detanking as the fog rolled it. With more testing expected in the next few days ahead, leading up to hopefully a static fire test.

After around 12 hours, Starship B19 has fully detanked and completed what looked to be a nominal full cryo test at Masseys. It remains to be seen if SpaceX will next roll it back to Mega Bay 1, or has further tests planned for it at Masseys.
