extraction_notes: "Extracted two claims challenging the SpaceX unreplicable flywheel thesis. Blue Origin's NG-2 success demonstrates that patient capital can achieve technical parity (booster landing/reuse) without integrated demand, though economic competitiveness remains unproven. Key gap: no cost-per-kg or refurbishment data disclosed. Enriched existing SpaceX vertical integration claim with counter-evidence. The 'faster than SpaceX' comparison is based on attempt count (2 vs several more), though absolute timeline comparison would require SpaceX Falcon 9 development dates."

EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on whether "no competitor can replicate piecemeal" still holds — Blue Origin replicated the booster landing capability without the demand flywheel, suggesting the flywheel claim may overstate the barrier

## Key Facts
|
||||||
|
- NG-1 (January 2025): New Glenn reached orbit, booster failed to land
|
||||||
|
- NG-2 (November 13, 2025): New Glenn reached orbit, deployed ESCAPADE to Mars-bound loiter orbit, booster landed successfully on Jacklyn 375 miles offshore
|
||||||
|
- ESCAPADE twin spacecraft scheduled to arrive at Mars September 2027
|
||||||
|
- Blue Origin received $14B+ investment from Jeff Bezos
|
||||||
|
- NG-3 mission targeted for late February 2026 using same booster from NG-2
