In their defense, Blue Origin is providing their BE-4 engine as a replacement for the Russian RD-180 in ULA's Vulcan launcher. So there's that...
Also, New Glenn launched back in January, though they missed the landing. There's a second New Glenn launch scheduled for "late spring" of this year as well which will carry satellites.

Uh...sunset time has nothing to do with weather.
