Blue Origin's New Glenn, compared with other current orbital launch vehicles. ULA's Vulcan (far right) uses 2 BE-4s in its methalox core stage. The same BE-4s as the 7 BE-4s on NG.
The last launch of Delta IV Heavy (3 orange core hydrolox booster to the right of NG) was on April 9, 2024.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:
IFT-7.
Booster 14 stage separation, and boostback burn for RTLS (Return-To-Launch-Site).
Booster 14 successfully returned to launch tower OLM-1, and is planned to launch/land again for IFT-9 orbital velocity test flight.
Ship 33 was the first V2 Starship upper stage. But it lost control and was blown up just before the end of its burn.
