Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket explodes during test

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin suffered a setback on Thursday (May 28) when its New Glenn rocket exploded on the launch pad during an engine-firing test. The rocket was being prepared to launch 48 Amazon satellites into low-Earth orbit as part of the company's effort to build a broadband network to rival Elon Musk’s Starlink. “We experienced an anomaly during today’s hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more,” Blue Origin said in a post on X. #jeffbezos #blueorigin Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
