They prepared for a standard static fire test. The check would run the first-stage engines for a short time while the vehicle stayed secured on the ground. This step formed part of preparations for a planned early June flight carrying Amazon satellites. <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-244782\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Breaking News: Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explodes during launch pad test\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1O90WZJALYc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Breaking News: Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explodes during launch pad test\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1O90WZJALYc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>The test began about 9 p.m. on May 28th. The fuel systems operated properly. The engines roared to life, and then the sequence went off the rails. Flames erupted near the bottom of the rocket almost immediately. It didn\u2019t take long for a big explosion to erupt, followed by a scorching fireball that enveloped the entire launch site in an unsettling brilliant orange glow. Debris flew everywhere. One of the lightning protection towers at the top crashed down. The transporter that transfers the rocket around was also seriously damaged. The entire rocket, which stood 320 feet tall, was destroyed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0DRW65V3V\" data-aawp-product-id=\"234699\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Building Set for Adults - Spaceship &amp; Airplane Model Kit for Adults Ages 18+ - Air &amp; Space Decor - Gift for Father s Day - 10360\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41emUr6LJRL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Building Set for Adults - Spaceship &amp; Airplane Model Kit for Adults...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Building Set for Adults &#8211; Spaceship &amp; Airplane Model Kit for Adults&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>2 AVIATION LEGENDS, 1 BUILD \u2013 Recreate the iconic Boeing 747 and NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise with the LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>DEPLOY LANDING GEAR \u2013 Turn the dial to extend the massive 18-wheel landing system on your airplane model, just like real flight operations<\/li>\n<li>AUTHENTIC FEATURES &amp; DETAILS \u2013 Remove the tail cone, engines, and landing gear from the NASA shuttle and stow them in the cargo bay during flight<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThe shockwaves were strong enough to jolt homes in adjacent Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. People on the coast who were watching reported witnessing a massive fireball light up the entire sky. It took more than two hours to bring the fires under control. After the first blast, emergency teams assessed the situation and confirmed that there were no significant hazards; amazingly, no one was wounded.

He spoke out publicly, stating that space flight is a harsh industry and that developing new large rockets is a difficult task. He also stated that they will discuss any and all ramifications for their Artemis program, as they need New Glenn to transport heavy lander parts to the moon. The test was the first static burn since regulators cleared the rocket to fly again. Blue Origin had been attempting to resolve some earlier issues that had arisen during a previous flight, such as a cryogenic leak that was producing problems in the upper stage. They received the go-ahead just a day before the test.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:0;padding:0;line-height:0;\">\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">All personnel are accounted for and safe.
