Founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin further delayed the launch because of Tuesday's poor weather forecast for Cape Canaveral and a moonshot planned Wednesday by SpaceX.

Jeff Bezos’s space company Blue Origin postponed the inaugural launch of its new rocket early Monday, after running into technical problems. Blue Origin had planned to attempt to blast off its New Glenn rocket from a site in Florida.
