The foundational building block for Jeff Bezos ' space dreams is finally ready to launch.
New Glenn rocket -- built by Blue Origin , the rocket company that Bezos started nearly a quarter century ago -- is sitting on a launchpad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
And it looks like Blue Origin is probably the best positioned to be that competitor to SpaceX.
Blue Origin, founded in 2000, has yet to put anything in orbit.
In November, it won an agreement from AST SpaceMobile for several New Glenn launches.

The very long wait for Jeff Bezos' big rocket is coming to an end
