Grateful that all personnel were safe during last nights New Glenn anomaly. That’s the most important thing. Now, let’s send our best wishes to Blue Origin employees as they work to assess the situation, determine what went wrong, and with time, rebuild.

Here's a quick recap of everything which just went wrong at 's Launch Complex-36.
The implications on the immediate future of American spaceflight are much larger than the explosion itself →
Overview of the New Glenn explosion this evening. By Ryan Caton (), who has a video overview of this coming shortly.
Blue Origin’s New Glenn “No It’s Necessary” experienced a RUD at the beginning of a static fire test at LC-36 this evening
This is my video of the explosion of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral’s pad LC-36 a short time ago. Includes video & audio from roughly 5 miles away near Jetty Park. That was an absolutely enormous explosion!
Note: Thankfully, Blue says all staff are OK.
Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Explodes during Testing
NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with
All personnel are accounted for and safe. 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.
The important confirmation is that all personnel are OK.

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's New Glenn just blew up at LC-36 while attempting to Static Fire ahead of NG-4.
