Jeff Bezos' rocket explodes during Florida test
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
A Blue Origin New Glenn mega rocket exploded during a static fire test at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, creating a massive fireball visible from kilometres away. All workers have been accounted for with no reported injuries, but the company has not explained what caused the anomaly. The explosion is a significant setback for Blue Origin's space program, which recently secured a $188 million NASA contract to transport lunar rovers and equipment to the moon for a planned lunar base.
