The second launch of New Glenn will aim for Mars

Blue Origin is making steady progress toward the second launch of its New Glenn rocket, which could occur sometime this fall.
The company already ignited the second stage of this rocket, in a pre-launch test, in April. And two sources say the first stage for this launch is in the final stages of preparation at the company's facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Publicly, the company has said this second launch will take place no earlier than August 15. This is now off the table. One source told Ars that a mid- to late-September launch date was "realistic," but another person said late October or November was more likely.
