While Elon Musk's SpaceX seems to be cruising along at quite a steady and well-oiled rate these days, the same can't quite be said about Jeff Bezos' aerospace firm Blue Origin. There was supposed to be a launch happening this morning, but it has just been called off after hours and hours of delays all due to the team now needing to fix a vehicle subsystem issue. The planned next launch date has yet to be outlined, as Blue Origin needs to figure out the perfect window to attempt launch once again.

This was all confirmed in a recent X post, which stated: "We're standing down on today's launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We're reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt."

It should be noted that rocket launches are notoriously challenging and that this is the first first flight for Blue Origin's rocket. The extra precautions being taken are necessary for the mission to succeed, which for this instance involves reaching orbit safely and then returning to Earth.
