Blue Origin rocket explodes on launch pad

Blue Origin confirms anomaly after New Glenn rocket explodes during Cape Canaveral test Blue Origin said all personnel were accounted for after an anomaly during a hotfire test at Launch Complex 36.

If you happened to see the night sky light up around 9pm last night and wondered what it was, unfortunately, it’s not good news.

As it was beginning what officials are calling a “Planned static fire test” at Launch Complex 36, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded.

Luckily, no one was injured.

Our friends over at WFTV, our TV partner, spoke to Dr. Jennifer Fogarty from UCF about the explosion and the aftermath.
