Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin has postponed the second launch of its New Glenn rocket due to unfavorable weather conditions. The mission, carrying NASA's ESCAPADE spacecraft to Mars, aims to achieve booster recovery - a technical feat only accomplished by SpaceX so far. The launch has been rescheduled for Wednesday as competition intensifies between the two billionaire-owned space companies amid growing pressure for accelerated space exploration.
