Blue Origin has expressed a strong commitment to assisting NASA in accelerating its lunar exploration efforts. During a recent interview with Ars Technica, CEO Dave Limp emphasized the company’s readiness to contribute to the earliest possible human landing on the Moon.

“Our goal is to help the United States reach the Moon as quickly as possible,” Limp stated. “If NASA is aiming to speed up its timeline, we are prepared to move heaven and Earth—literally—to make that happen. We believe we have innovative ideas that could help expedite the process.”

This declaration comes just ahead of Blue Origin’s upcoming launch of its powerful New Glenn rocket, scheduled for a mission carrying NASA’s ESCAPADE spacecraft. The launch is set to take place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with a launch window opening at 2:45 p.m. Eastern Time. The window lasts for approximately two hours, offering a crucial opportunity for the mission to proceed.

Blue Origin’s willingness to support NASA reflects the broader industry’s enthusiasm for public-private partnerships in space exploration. As NASA continues to develop its Artemis program aimed at returning humans to the Moon, commercial companies like Blue Origin are positioning themselves as key allies in achieving these ambitious goals faster and more efficiently.
