“A powerful New Glenn rocket owned by Jeff Bezos'[s] Blue Origin exploded in a spectacular fireball Thursday, sending billowing clouds of fire, smoke and flaming debris into the night sky in a tremendous conflagration visible for miles around. The explosion occurred around 9 p.m. EDT as engineers were counting down to a brief test firing of the New Glenn’s seven methane-fueled BE-4 first stage engines at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Blue Origin was gearing up for a June launch to put a batch of Amazon ‘Leo’ internet satellites into orbit. … The U.S. Space Force Eastern Range, which coordinates all launches from Florida, said in a statement that ’emergency responders are on the scene. All personnel have been accounted for and there were no injuries/fatalities.'” (05/29/26)
