Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket explodes during Florida test

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded Thursday night during a hot-fire test at a Space Force launch facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Blue Origin said all personnel were accounted for and safe, while local authorities said the incident posed no threat to the public. Jeff Bezos said it is still too early to determine the main cause of the explosion, but the company has begun investigating it and will rebuild what is needed. After the incident, Blue Origin warned rocket debris could wash ashore on several nearby beaches in the coming days or weeks and asked residents not to touch it. Amazon said 48 satellites for the Leo New Glenn 1 mission had not been installed on the rocket and remained safe at a nearby facility.
