Blue Origin made two adjustments in quick succession to its schedule for launching its New Glenn rocket to orbit for the first time.

Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, called off its first attempt to get its new, 30-story New Glenn rocket off the ground in the early hours of Monday morning.

The company, started by the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, reset its countdown clock repeatedly over a period of just over two hours before eventually postponing the test flight to another day.
