Mindblowing Explosion in USA Cape Canaveral 🤯 A Blue Origin rocket exploded during a routine ground test Yes they lost a New Glenn rocket Which can cost over $100 million But the bigger loss may be the launch infrastructure The static-fire test severely damaged the launch complex They’re saying that it has reportedly caused collapsing a lightning tower and destroying key support equipment Understand that the challenge is that Blue Origin has only one operational pad for New Glenn launches (unlike SpaceX, it has no backup site) The setback also affects Amazon’s Project Kuiper (Jeff Bezos’ answer to Elon Musk’s Starlink) The rocket was set to launch 48 satellites, though none were onboard during the test Amazon is already behind schedule in deploying its satellite network and faces regulatory deadlines New Glenn was expected to help speed up those launches Now with the rocket grounded and the pad damaged, delays are likely Meanwhile, SpaceX’s Starlink continues to expand, with more than 7,600 satellites already in orbit And yes, no injuries were reported And Jeff Bezos says Blue Origin will rebuild ✊ But they are all saying that, repairing the launch complex could take far longer than replacing the rocket 🥲

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.
