Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Names New Glenn-1's First Booster 'So You're Telling Me There's A Chance:' Here's Why
Billionaire Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin's New Glenn-1 launch vehicle's first booster will be called "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance," company CEO Dave Limp said on Friday.
億萬富翁傑夫·貝佐斯創辦的藍色起源的新格倫-1火箭的第一級助推器將被命名爲「你告訴我還有機會」，公司首席執行官戴夫·林普在週五表示。
What Happened: The booster is called "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance" as no one has landed a reusable booster on the first try before, Limp said.
發生了什麼：助推器被稱爲「你告訴我還有機會」，因爲之前沒有人在第一次嘗試中成功降落過可重複使用的助推器，林普說。
"No one has landed a reusable booster on the first try. Yet, we're going for it, and humbly submit having good confidence in landing it," Limp said. "But like I said a couple of weeks ago, if we don't, we'll learn and keep trying until we do."
「沒有人在第一次嘗試中成功降落過可重複使用的助推器。然而，我們還是在嘗試，並且自信地預計能成功降落，」林普說。「但就像我幾周前說的那樣，如果我們不能成功，我們會吸取教訓，並繼續嘗試直到成功爲止。」
We have a cool history naming key Blue hardware that dates back to New Shepard. We're calling New Glenn's first booster "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance." Why? No one has landed a reusable booster on the first try. Yet, we're going for it, and humbly submit having good... pic.twitter.com/xKxFCBwSgA

我們有一個很酷的歷史，通過爲關鍵的藍色硬件命名，這可以追溯到新謝潑德。我們把新格蘭的第一級助推器稱爲「你告訴我還有機會」。爲什麼這樣命名？因爲沒有人在第一次嘗試中成功降落過可重複使用的助推器。然而，我們還是在嘗試，並且自信地預計能成功降落... pic.twitter.com/xKxFCBwSgA

New Glenn is a reusable heavy-lift rocket named after John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. The development of the vehicle, expected to compete with SpaceX's Falcon launch vehicle, has been delayed for years.
新格倫是一款可重複使用的重型運載火箭，以第一個美國繞地球飛行的人約翰·格倫命名。該火箭的開發已經多年延遲，預計將與 spacex 的獵鷹運載火箭競爭。
SpaceX landed a Falcon 9 booster vertically for the first time in December 2015 after multiple attempts.
2015年12月，SpaceX首次垂直降落了獵鷹9號助推器，經過多次嘗試後取得成功。
New Glenn, unlike Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle, can reach the Earth's orbit and beyond. New Shepard, meanwhile, can only reach the edge of space.
新格倫火箭不同於藍色起源的新謝潑德火箭，可以抵達地球的軌道及其以外的目的地。而新謝潑德火箭只能到達太空的邊緣。
Why It Matters: New Glenn-1 is now expected to launch for the first time in November.
爲什麼重要：New Glenn-1現在預計將於11月首次發射。
NASA selected Blue Origin to launch the ESCAPADE science mission atop New Glenn in February 2023. Amazon.com is also looking to deploy its Project Kuiper satellite constellation, aimed at providing low-latency broadband internet connectivity, with multiple launches on the New Glenn vehicle.
NASA 選擇藍色起源於2023年2月在新格倫運載火箭上發射逃逸困境科學任務。亞馬遜公司還計劃使用新格倫運載火箭發射 Project Kuiper 衛星網絡，以提供低延遲的寬帶互聯網連接。
