🚀 Blue Origin’s New Glenn Explodes in Test

A fiery explosion destroyed Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket during a routine engine test at Cape Canaveral. The blast heavily damaged launch complex LC-36, the only pad for New Glenn, putting the rocket’s next flight on hold.

New Glenn is a 98-meter heavy-lift rocket designed to carry NASA’s Blue Moon lunar lander and deploy Amazon’s satellite internet constellation. It has flown only three times, with its last launch delayed by an FAA investigation after a satellite was placed in the wrong orbit.
