Blue Origin's Starship Killer?

today we're going to talk about blue Origins project Jarvis also apparently known as project Clipper it's a project to put a reusable second stage on Blue origins new Glen rocket for a long time I resisted doing a video on this project because blue origin has been their usual secret of selves and so little was known but I found a source of information around what is probably project Jarvis or at least was at one time as far as I know the word Jarvis first came out out in this article by Eric Berger in July of 2021 it was accompanied by a picture of this test tank that was seen at Blue Origins launch complex 36 in Florida and wow if it doesn't look a lot like Starship sn4 it does seem like bull origin is playing on hard mode a reusable second stage is very challenging for a company that has yet to reach orbit but I thought about it a little more new Glenn is a strangely large the specs say that with first stage reuse it can do 45 tons to low earth orbit and 13.6 tons to geosynchronous transfer orbit that puts it in the heavy lift rocket class and the payloads IT carries would be pretty similar to those carried by Falcon heavy Falcon heavy doesn't fly very often most payloads are smaller and can be carried by Falcon 9 but there is no smaller option for new Glenn that means it's probably decent for carrying constellation satellites but it's too big for a lot of other payloads
