Blue Origin's New Glenn exploded at LC-36 during a static fire test ahead of NG-4.

PlanCapabilityValue 4.0May 29, 2026I'm speechless. Good that all personnel are safe, but very sad to see this happen and going to be a massive setback with the T-E and one of the lightning towers completely gone. Hopefully Blue can recover quickly, but I think we'd be lucky if we see a launch next year.
