-Owner Jeff Bezos said it was a "very rough day,” but the company will rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. As The New York Times reports, the explosion occurred on Blue Origin's only launchpad for New Glenn, and it could take several months for the company to repair it. -Uber shuttles to and from the stadium will only be available in Miami. In the other three locations, the company will only be offering shuttles to leave the venues.  In Miami, Dallas and Boston, fans will have to pay $45 for a ride, while it's $49 for the New York-New Jersey venue. -The crypto business, run by twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, agreed to a $5 million fine in early January 2025 after the CFTC sued it for making false or misleading statements regarding its bitcoin operation.
