TLDR

Blue Origin is pushing the boundaries of rocket reusability with its New Glenn rocket. The company plans to refly the booster used in its second mission, NG-2, for the upcoming NG-3 mission, scheduled for late February or early March. This would mark the third flight of the New Glenn fleet, and if successful, it would represent a significantly shorter turnaround time compared to SpaceX's first refly of a Falcon 9 booster, which took nearly 11 months.
