Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket Explosion during Testing

When Rocket Science fails, it’s usually pretty spectacular. Tonight was no different at Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 36. Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket was doing a static fire test of its engines and launch procedures when this happened… A MASSIVE EXPLOSION! The space folks have a term for this… Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly! Thousands of pounds of rocket propellant and oxidizer ignited at once. The explosion could be seen and heard on RING cameras miles away from Cape Canaveral. The Launch Complex fires continued to burn well into the night.
