Rocket Explosion Deals Blow to Blue Origin's Space Ambitions
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded in a massive fireball while undergoing a test on a Florida launchpad Thursday evening, dealing a major setback to the Jeff Bezos-backed firm in its efforts to challenge a dominant SpaceX. Blue Origin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said it was too early to determine the cause of the explosion and described it as "a very rough day" in a post on X. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matt Bloxham joined Caroline Hepker to discuss the implications. (Source: Bloomberg)
