In order for the partially reusable New Glenn rocket to catch up to the partially reusable Falcon 9 (launches every 2.3 days avg), New Glenn must launch at least every 6 days, in order for Blue Origin to catch up to SpaceX (NG is 45 mT to LEO, Falcon 9 is 17.5 mT to LEO). There's also a reusable version of the NG hydrolox upper stage in development ("Project Jarvis").

Methalox BE-4 engines for New Glenn NG-2 orbital test flight.
On the upper left are BE-3U engines without their nozzle extensions. They are a vacuum version of the hydrolox BE-3 used in the New Shepard suborbital rocket (used for carrying passengers on a suborbital flight).

Lunar landers and 'Transporter' tankers: Blue Origin unveils its blueprint for the moon
While Musk and Starship explode, Bezos self-funds Moon ships. New Glenn heavy booster has put first payload into orbit. Blue Origin can quietly come from behind in Space Race 2.0.

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin New Glenn:
The expendable hydrolox upper stage for the reusable methalox New Glenn booster.
This is in preparation for New Glenn's 2nd test flight. The 1st test flight achieved orbit, but the booster blew up during its hypersonic landing attempt.
"January’s GS2 performed remarkably during our inaugural New Glenn launch, delivering our payload to orbit with less than 1% deviation from the target. Today, we completed a full duration 15-second hotfire test of the upper stage for our NG-2 mission. This time, we achieved enhanced performance from the BE-3U engine, increasing the maximum thrust from 173,000 lbf to 175,000 lbf per engine, further expanding New Glenn’s capabilities for our customers."
