NASA and Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket won't launch next month after all.

The rocket had been scheduled to launch NASA 's twin ESCAPADE Mars probes.

The ESCAPade mission will send two spacecraft, named Blue and Gold , to Mars orbit.

The delay will be just a bump in the road for the $80 million mission.
