Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded on a Florida launch pad in a dramatic scene fit for a Hollywood action flick Thursday night.
Live footage showed the 321-foot-tall mega-rocket burst into an enormous fireball at the start of a test around 9 p.m. — though the Jeff Bezos-owned company made clear there were no reported injuries as a result.
“We experienced an anomaly during today’s hotfire test,” Blue Origin tweeted Thursday night, while Bezos described Thursday as a “rough day.”
