00:02Wait till you see this. This morning, a major setback for Blue Origin after its new Glenn rocket exploded during
00:09a test on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral.
00:12The fiery blast happened during an engine firing test as the company prepared for a satellite mission scheduled for next
00:20week.
00:21Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos called it a very rough day, but said no one was hurt and teams are
00:27already working to determine what caused the failure.
00:29You see the fireball right there. The loss is another blow for the new Glenn program.
00:34Just last month, the rocket was grounded after an engine problem left a satellite in the wrong orbit.
00:40Blue Origin plans to use new Glenn for future NASA missions, including delivering landers to the moon as part of
00:47the Artemis program.
00:49The company had been targeting a full launch for a prototype moon lander.
00:53It's too early to know whether this explosion will force that timeline to slip.
00:59Blue Origin's
01:01Clear
