The New Glenn rocket’s seven powerful engines may light up as soon as today

Got it, launch is in May

That would be pretty on-brand for Blue "Gradatim Ferociter" Origin. We've seen a lot of Gradatim, and not much Ferociter.

Update: No static fire was conducted today, but Blue Origin did conduct a cryogenic propellant loading test.
