A Blue Origin rocket exploded during a test at the launch pad Thursday night, shaking nearby homes and briefly painting the sky orange.
Blue Origin said its New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine-firing test being conducted ahead of a satellite launch planned for next week. No one was hurt, according to officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Some of the comments were on fire. Like the rocket. “Blew Origin,” “Boom Origin.”
You’re right, though. I clicked out halfway through the video. I got bored and started playing sudoku on my phone.
