“We grew and hired incredibly fast in the last few years, and with that growth came more bureaucracy and less focus than we needed,” Limp’s email read,. “It also became clear that the makeup of our organization must change to ensure our roles are best aligned with executing these priorities.”The plan is to cut workers in research and development, program and project management and engineering, along with some management, according to The Seattle Times.The 320-foot New Glenn rocket was supposed to blast off before dawn with a prototype satellite from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Once the countdown clock was halted, they immediately began draining all the fuel from the rocket. Blue Origin did not immediately set a new launch date, saying the team needed more time to resolve the problem.TRAFFIC ALERT: All lanes of I-5 north and I-5 south blocked near Castle Rock All lanes of Interstate 5 north and I-5 south are blocked near Castle Rock and Toledo, as reported by The Washington State Department of Transportation .
