Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket explodes during launchpad test in Florida

A mega-rocket developed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin exploded Thursday during testing at a launch site in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The company was carrying out a “static fire” test of its New Glenn rocket ahead of what was expected to be the vehicle’s fourth launch in the coming weeks.

Video from a live stream operated by NASASpaceFlight.com appeared to show a huge explosion at the launchpad during the test.

It is not yet clear whether anyone was injured. Rocket companies normally clear launch sites before major tests are conducted.
