Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded in a huge fireball during a test in Florida: What you need to know
An uncrewed rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin exploded into a massive fireball Thursday night during a launchpad test.
Videos showed the 322-foot-tall New Glenn rocket igniting on the pad at Cape Canaveral, Fla., at around 9 p.m. local time, before erupting into a bright orange ball of fire, engulfing the surrounding area and shaking nearby homes.
Blue Origin confirmed it had experienced an “anomaly” during a so-called hot-fire test, which is when a rocket is fired up while remaining anchored to the ground.
Bezos confirmed that all personnel were safe and accounted for.
