Blue Origin rocket explodes

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket experienced an anomaly during a ground test known as a hotfire, according to the company. Video captured from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida Thursday evening appears to show a rocket exploding on its launchpad.

“All personnel are accounted for and safe,” Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin’s founder, said. “It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.”
