Oopsie at Cape Canaveral (Blue Origin explosion)

As my former boss and the smartest person I know wisely said once, "stuff" happens in rocket testing.

I do not miss the anxious wait for the root cause, always afraid it would be something I had worked on.
 
Billionaire space games jokes aside, this sucks on multiple levels. Both Artemis and Blue Origin’s HLS system for the moon hinge on New Glenn’s success. And…even Southern Jet’s new WiFi plans.

Blue Origin doesn’t test to failure like SpaceX does and this was their only pad I believe at Kennedy with assumed ground damage to the tank farm and other buildings. This could be a major setback for Artemis as the MK1 moon lander apparently can’t work with any other rocket currently.
