Today, SpaceX is scheduled to launch the seventh test of their Starship rocket, the largest rocket ever built. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space company, is scheduled to launch a new rocket, the New Glenn, which will be a direct competitor to SpaceX and the Falcon Heavy.

Associate Professor Paul Slaboch, director of the University of Hartford’s Aerospace Engineering program, is available to speak via phone or Zoom about what these back-to-back launches mean for the future of space exploration.
