Blue Origin’s New Glenn Setback

Blue Origin suffered a major setback Thursday night when a fiery explosion destroyed their New Glenn rocket during an engine test—damage to the launch pad and a delay for next week’s satellite launch. Though no payloads were lost, the incident hits hard for the company, whose New Glenn is central to NASA’s Artemis moon missions and a newly secured multimillion-dollar contract. While SpaceX kept rolling with Starlink launches the next morning, Blue Origin’s single Florida pad leaves them vulnerable. Recovery time—and what went wrong—will be critical as the space race heats up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
