New Glenn: If no major issues are found, Blue may be able to aim for the rocket's maiden flight in the first week of January or shortly thereafter; a notice to mariners and aviators indicates a possible 1/6 launch, but that's not an official date; we'll post updates as solid info becomes available

How fast is the Lucy Earth Gravity Assist? Fast!
Lucy entered within lunar orbit about one hour ago. At around 3:28 UTC (Dec. 13) Lucy will be closer than geostationary orbits, and at 4:15 UTC closer than the ISS. By tomorrow 2 p.m. UTC Lucy will have cleared lunar orbit.
