# Giant Reusable Rocket Boosters Blue Origin's 'New Glenn' Rocket is over 300 Feet Tall By Joey Haar | Published 2016-09-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-glenn References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/blue-origins-new-reusable-rocket-is-absurdly-huge-1786528504) & [blueorigin](https://www.blueorigin.com/) The 'New Glenn' rocket, a model recently announced by the space exploration company [Blue Origins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-dust), will be the second tallest rocket ever built, falling short of only NASA's now-defunct Saturn V rocket. The difference between the Saturn V and the New Glenn is that the former was a single use vessel while the latter is a completely reusable piece of machinery. The tallest version of the New Glenn rocket, its three-stage model, will stand at 95 meters tall (or 313 feet.) This height will be girded by a 23-foot diameter rocket booster that subsequently packs 3.85 million pounds of thrust. With that much power, Blue Origin's founder Jeff Bezos, known for being the founder of [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-olympus-1), announced that the reusable rocket will be capable of exiting low Earth orbit during missions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reusable Rocket Technology:** The development of reusable rocket technology allows for cost-effective and sustainable space exploration. - **Increased Payload Capacity:** The use of giant reusable rocket boosters enables increased payload capacity for space missions, opening up new possibilities for scientific research and commercial ventures. - **Competition in Space Exploration:** The development of taller reusable rockets by Blue Origin creates competition in the space exploration industry and encourages innovation among other companies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Space Exploration:** The space exploration industry can leverage reusable rocket technology to expand their capabilities and undertake more ambitious missions. - **Aerospace Manufacturing:** Aerospace manufacturers have the opportunity to develop and produce giant reusable rocket boosters to meet the growing demand for efficient space transportation. - **Satellite Communications:** The increased payload capacity of giant reusable rocket boosters opens up opportunities for satellite communications companies to launch larger and more advanced satellites into orbit. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Child Rocket Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-geographic-power-rocket.md) - [Revolutionary Reusable Rockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-rockets.md) - [3D-Printed Orbital Rockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phoenix-engine.md) - [Eco-Friendly Nano Satellites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbex-prime.md) - [3D-Printed Space-Exploration Rockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-bow-launch-systems.md) - [Hypersonic Launch Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/launch-vehicle.md) - [Eiffel Tower-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eiffel-tower-lego.md) - [Space-Inspired Toy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-collections.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Foam Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerf-x-destiny-gjallarhorn-blaster.md)
