Flights should be at least partially successful (according to Next Spaceflight) to count. Resolves based on local time at launch pad.
Blue origin has not stated a goal yet, but in 2024, they planned 8 launches this year and 24 launches in 2026. Presumably their goal has been revised down.

"This STA will be used for the the sixth launch of New Glenn as well as pre-flight and post-landing checkouts. All activities will occur at Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral, FL, Port Canaveral, FL, and the Blue Origin Manufacturing Complex at Merritt Island, FL. This application is for the New Glenn Flight 6 launch only, not for ground testing.
Start Date: 04/15/2026
End Date: 06/15/2026"
LOL 3 flights in 2 months after flight 3.
Yeah right! So what is their recent rate? Err, looking like ~5 months between flight 2 and flight 3?
Some acceleration in cadence may well be possible but does this look ridiculous rather than reassuring customers that the rate is going to ramp up quickly?

>"Answers resolve as “equal to or higher” - ie, 1 will resolve true whether there is only 1 flight or 15."
Seems a bit odd with answers like "Above 0"? Surely that resolves no with 0?
For maximum clarity I prefer answers like "Above 2.5" to make clear 2 resolves no while 3 and higher resolve yes.
Anyway I think the "Answers resolve as “equal to or higher” in description should be removed as contradicting what the options say.
