Blue Origin’s massive New Glenn rocket explodes in a fiery blaze during tests

Blue Origin’s New Glenn exploded during a hot-fire test at Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 36, causing a fireball and damaging the launchpad area.

No injuries were reported, and investigators are reviewing what caused the static fire test failure.

The blast could delay the New Glenn program and disrupt future missions tied to NASA, Artemis, and Amazon’s Project Kuiper.
