Blue Origin announced plans to add two new launch pads for its New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral, on top of two already under construction, along with a new manufacturing facility for up to 150 upper stages of a larger New Glenn variant. The company also plans two additional landing ships to recover first stages, plus a customer integration facility built with the US Space Force featuring four payload bays. Blue Origin says it has invested about $3 billion in Florida infrastructure, employs over 5,000 people there, and works with 500 state-based suppliers.
