Blue Origin rocket grounded
Jeff Bezos' space venture, Blue Origin, has suffered a significant setback after its third New Glenn launch failed to deliver its primary payload.
The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered an investigation into the second-stage flight sequence, which left an AST SpaceMobile satellite in an unusable orbit.
This failure may have broader implications for NASA's lunar plans, as the agency relies on New Glenn for upcoming Artemis missions.
Shares of AST SpaceMobile plummeted following the news, highlighting the high stakes of commercial space exploration.
