## Resource

Blue Origin suffered a major setback Thursday night when its New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine test on Florida’s launchpad, sending shockwaves through nearby towns—though thankfully no one was injured. The incident, which lit up the sky orange around 9 PM, marks another hurdle for the company’s ambitious lunar mission plans with NASA, including astronaut transport and moon buggy contracts. Jeff Bezos called it a “very rough day,” but vowed to rebuild, while NASA’s Jared Isaacman acknowledged the brutal nature of spaceflight and promised updates on Artemis impacts. Even Elon Musk offered condolences. The explosion doesn’t affect other launches, like ULA’s upcoming Atlas V mission. Standing at 321 feet tall and designed for heavy-lift missions, New Glenn’s setbacks are painful—but the team is already focused on recovery and getting back to flight.
