Why is the operational readiness of New Glenn crucial for Blue Moon's mission profile?

It places components into Earth orbit before Blue Moon can fulfill its descent mission

The Blue Moon lander is designed for the final descent phase, but it cannot perform this function without being transported to the correct starting position in space. The successful and reliable operation of the New Glenn heavy-lift rocket is contingent upon successfully placing the necessary hardware, including personnel transport vehicles, into Earth orbit. This orbital placement is a prerequisite step, meaning the lander cannot complete its mission profile—delivering hardware to the lunar surface—unless the upstream launch architecture provided by New Glenn functions correctly.
