Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explodes on launchpad (VIDEO)
The incident occurred during a static fire test at Cape Canaveral
Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a preflight static fire test on a launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday.
Jeff Bezos’ company said that “an anomaly” had occurred and that all personnel were safe.
Footage from a live stream shows the rocket erupting into a massive fireball.
The aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster.
According to CBS News, the mission, tentatively scheduled for next month, was intended to launch 48 satellites for Amazon’s Leo internet service. The satellites were not aboard the rocket at the time of the incident.

The bigger issue here is blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a preflight static fire test on a launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday. That changes the calculation.
New Glenn has been pushing this agenda for a while now.
When you look at jeff Bezos’ company said that “an anomaly” had occurred and that all personnel were safe, the implications are hard to ignore.
Think about it: jeff Bezos’ company said that “an anomaly” had occurred and that all personnel were safe. That speaks volumes.
Think about it: the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster. That speaks volumes.
The fact that according to CBS News, the mission, tentatively scheduled for next month, was intended to launch 48 satellites for Amazon’s Leo internet service really puts things into perspective.
On one hand the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster. But at the same time according to CBS News, the mission, tentatively scheduled for next month, was intended to launch 48 satellites for Amazon’s Leo internet service.
If blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a preflight static fire test on a launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday, then the bigger picture starts to look very different.
Reading that according to CBS News, the mission, tentatively scheduled for next month, was intended to launch 48 satellites for Amazon’s Leo internet service — hard to argue with the logic there.
The fact that the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster really puts things into perspective.
What stands out is the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster. That is the part worth paying attention to.
If jeff Bezos’ company said that “an anomaly” had occurred and that all personnel were safe, then the bigger picture starts to look very different.
Basically the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster. What matters is whether anything changes because of it.
Considering the aerospace company was preparing for the fourth launch of its heavy-lift rocket, which features a reusable first-stage booster, it raises some real questions about what happens next.
The detail about blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a preflight static fire test on a launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday is something people should sit with.
