Watch Blue Origin rocket explode in fireball during launch pad test

• A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket, developed by Jeff Bezos's company, exploded on a launch pad in Florida during a pre-launch engine hotfire test on Thursday night.
• The powerful blast, which lit up the night sky around Cape Canaveral, caused severe damage to the launchpad and nearby infrastructure.
• Blue Origin confirmed an 'anomaly' during the test, with all personnel accounted for, and Jeff Bezos stated they would rebuild and investigate the root cause.
• The incident is expected to delay the use of the launchpad for several months, potentially impacting NASA's Artemis mission, which relies on Blue Origin for lunar lander components.
• NASA has pledged a thorough investigation into the explosion, which occurred at Blue Origin's sole launch facility for its New Glenn rocket.
