Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth in 1962.
As in Falcon 9 SpaceX the New Glenn are also reusable, i.e., they are designed to be used more than once. However, no rocket never taken off twice. This is the very fact that some of these vehicles landings be "troubled", damaging the equipment and preventing it can be reused.
