Episode Details

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket suffered a fiery test failure at Cape Canaveral, destroying the transporter-erector and lightning tower—but good news: critical fuel tanks, the support tower, and nearby stored parts survived intact. CEO Dave Limp says repairs are feasible, and the rocket could fly again before year’s end. This setback comes just days after NASA awarded Blue Origin a multimillion-dollar contract to use New Glenn rockets for Artemis lunar missions, including the Blue Moon lander. NASA’s Administrator Jared Isaacman vows to restore the launch pad swiftly while advancing lander development. With Artemis aiming for a 2028 moon landing, Blue Origin and SpaceX are both pivotal players in NASA’s return to the lunar surface.
