BOOM! 💥 #BlueOrigin New Glenn rocket explodes on launch pad in Florida
ByUpdated on: May 29, 2026
"A powerful New Glenn rocket owned by #JeffBezos' Blue Origin exploded in a spectacular fireball Thursday, sending billowing clouds of fire, smoke and flaming debris into the night sky in a tremendous conflagration visible for miles around.
"The explosion occurred around 9 p.m. EDT as engineers were counting down to a brief test firing of the New Glenn's seven methane-fueled BE-4 first stage engines at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Blue Origin was gearing up for a June launch to put a batch of Amazon #Leo internet #satellites into orbit.
"As the engines appeared to begin firing, something clearly went wrong at the base of the rocket. The 188-foot-tall first stage became enveloped in a rapidly growing fire and moments later, the 86-foot-tall upper stage could be seen tilting and starting to fall as the first stage apparently began collapsing.
"Then the vehicle suddenly exploded as its load of #methane fuel and liquid oxygen ignited in a roiling fireball."
