New Glenn flight of 13 November 2025, followed from the countdown with audio from Blue Origin's mission control.

After liftoff, the rocket clears the tower and engine parameters remain nominal. Main engine cutoff (MECO) follows, along with stage separation and second-stage ignition, with its two BE-3U engines reaching high thrust; fairing jettison is then confirmed. The first stage performs the re-entry burn with three engines, already going further than on NG-1, followed by the landing burn.

With the legs deployed, booster touchdown is confirmed while the second stage continues operating normally, and the control room celebrates the landing.
