ICYMI: Blue Origin rocket explodes in massive fireball on Florida launch pad. During a critical engine firing test last night, the powerful vehicle went up in flames, engulfing the site. Jeff Bezos confirmed all personnel are safe, but it's too early to know what went wrong. The rocket was slated to carry 48 satellites into orbit, now a painful setback for Blue Origin, fresh off a $188 million NASA contract for lunar terrain vehicles.

🇺🇸 SUPERCUT - BEZOS’ ROCKET GOES BOOM Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, owned by Jeff Bezos, exploded on the launch pad in Florida. The rocket was supposed to launch a batch of satellites for Amazon's Leo network, which competes with Starlink. Amazon stated that the satellites were not yet on the rocket at the time of the explosion. Blue Origin stated that the rocket encountered an "anomaly." We can see that, lol. So, Starlink remains the only game in town for now
