NG builder set
Hey so did anyone else buy and build this yet? I’m trying to figure out what the big blue and white pieces are because the instructions for those 2 pieces are cropped off. I’m 99% sure everything else is just extra since is only 1-2 of each shape.

Why does BO work like NASA instead of SpaceX ?
The pace is glacial , it's understandable for NASA because any failures would cause an uproar as its taxpayer money being spent but what's the deal with BO. It's not like Bezos is lacking for money and you can see the success of the iterative method from SpaceX .
What gives ?

New Glenn returned to raised position
13:27 UTC
Perhaps the lack of a certified third stage of the New Glenn contributed to its not being chosen, but Vulcan was another eligible supplier, it seems that NASA went for the cheaper option

I was wrong
Last November, when NG was first rolled out, I made a reply saying "At this rate first launch attempt will be around June 2024, second flight in December" which was rightfully downvoted harshly, because I WAS WRONG. There, I said it. I was wrong, I was not even close. BO is even more lethargic than I thought. Any year now, right?
