    SpaceX's Starship IFT-5 is now scheduled for November. So is Blue
    Origin's New Glenn inaugural flight. The next few months should be
    interesting.

    "Scheduled" is too strong for either.  "Projected to be scheduled" is probably more accurate, and could well drift to the right, especially
    since the FAA has said "NET /late/ November" for its part.

    I agree. Still, New Glenn would be revolutionary and very exciting if it
    wasn't for SpaceX. And Starship might be the ship that makes humankind
    an interplanetary species. So both of these rockets are quite
    interesting beasts. Even if their flights are not in two months, I
    consider these interesting times.
