Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin suffered a fiery nightmare after its New Glenn rocket exploded during a launch pad test. The massive blast lit up the Florida night sky and sent shockwaves through nearby homes at Cape Canaveral. Dramatic footage captured the towering fireball moments after engines ignited during the “hotfire” test. Blue Origin called the explosion an “anomaly” as emergency crews rushed to contain the inferno.
