Blue Origin's New Glenn explodes on the pad during hotfire test
Blue Origin’s heavy-lift New Glenn rocket erupted in a massive fireball during a routine hotfire test at Cape Canaveral’s LC-36, causing significant pad damage but no injuries. The company said an anomaly occurred and a thorough investigation will follow. The incident could delay NG-4 activities and potentially impact NASA moon/m Artemis plans, though officials emphasized ongoing efforts to inspect, rebuild, and resume flight as soon as feasible.
