Jeff Bezos\u2019 space ambitions went up in flames on Thursday night when a Blue Origin rocket exploded in a massive fireball during testing at a Florida launch pad.<\/p>\n

The New Glenn rocket erupted around 9p.m. ET at Cape Canaveral while engineers were preparing for a planned engine test ahead of its next mission, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n

\n

Blue Origin acknowledged the explosion in a statement posted to X, saying it had experienced an \u201canomaly\u201d during testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe experienced an anomaly during today\u2019s hotfire test,\u201d the company said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bezos later struck a defiant tone on X, saying it was still \u201ctoo early\u201d to determine the cause of the explosion but vowing that Blue Origin would recover. <\/p>\n

\u201cVery rough day, but we\u2019ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It\u2019s worth it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The explosion could complicate plans for the rocket\u2019s next mission, which was scheduled to launch as soon as June 4 carrying 48 satellites for Amazon\u2019s Project Kuiper internet service.<\/p>\n

Project Kuiper is Amazon\u2019s bid to challenge Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink satellite internet network, setting up a direct rivalry between the two billionaire-backed space ventures.<\/p>\n

The blast lit up the night sky over Florida\u2019s Space Coast, with residents in nearby Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach reporting that their homes shook from the explosion.<\/p>\n

Photos and videos of the orange fireball quickly spread across social media.<\/p>\n

\n

The incident marks the latest setback for Blue Origin. New Glenn was temporarily grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration in April after an upper-stage engine issue left a satellite in the wrong orbit. <\/p>\n

Musk, whose SpaceX is also competing with Blue Origin for NASA contracts and commercial launches, offered a brief reaction of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost unfortunate,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cRockets are hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The explosion comes just days after Bezos used a CNBC appearance to tout Blue Origin\u2019s efforts to slash the cost of reaching orbit, a key part of his vision for moving more infrastructure into space.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaunch cost has to come down very significantly by a factor of 10,\u201d Bezos said.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re working on right here. That\u2019s what Blue Origin is doing, and this team is on fire doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
