Congratulations to the New Glenn team on reaching orbit on first try, and becoming the 4th* Reusable Launch Vehicle to reach orbit.

Looking forward now to the Space Pioneer Tianlong-3 likely being the next, followed by either Rocket Lab Neutron or Stoke Nova. There are also a host of other Chinese launch startups that want to fly RLVs soon, but it's hard to tell how far along they are.

*Shuttle, F9/Heavy, Starship, NG. Energia as flown wasn't yet an RLV. Parts of Ariane 5 and Electron have been ocean recovered, but the stages were not intended to be reused intact.
