It’s not supposed to do that?
Unmanned hopefully
ouch!
Looked to me like the second stage exploded.
is this slop? I haven’t found corroboration.
I couldn’t find anything online but found this below. Launch is scheduled for June 4th.
Blue Origin Launch — NG‑4 / Amazon Leo (LN‑01)
Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket is set to launch its fourth mission (NG‑4) on June 4, 2026, from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida Yahoo+1. This will be the first time New Glenn carries satellites for Amazon’s Leo constellation (formerly Project Kuiper), marking a major milestone between the two Jeff Bezos‑founded companies GeekWire.
Mission Overview
Mission name: NG‑4 / LN‑01
Payload: 48 Amazon Leo broadband satellites — the largest single payload yet for New Glenn GeekWire+1
Destination: Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
Booster: “No, It’s Necessary” — a re‑used first stage from NG‑3, named after a line from Interstellar GeekWire+1
Significance: First New Glenn launch for Amazon; will be the fourth flight of the rocket and the first to deliver satellites for Amazon GeekWire.
Background & FAA Clearance
The NG‑4 launch follows a grounding after the NG‑3 mission on April 19, 2026, when a cryogenic leak froze a hydraulic line, causing a thrust anomaly in the second‑stage BE‑3U engine and placing the AST SpaceMobile BlueBird 7 satellite in an “off‑nominal” orbit Gizmodo+1.
The FAA cleared New Glenn for return to flight after Blue Origin implemented nine corrective actions Engadget. The NG‑4 mission is now on the FAA’s Operations Plan Advisory, with a launch window of 1:21 p.m. to 3:03 p.m. Eastern time (10:21 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PDT) Yahoo+1.
Amazon Leo Context
Amazon Leo currently has over 300 satellites in orbit, with thousands more planned over the next three years. New Glenn is one of four providers (alongside ULA, Arianespace, and Vulcan) for its 24 planned New Glenn launches GeekWire+1. This mission will set a record for the number of Leo satellites launched on a single rocket.
Fake, but nice-lookin’ fake.
NG’s upper stage failure a few months ago has been investigated by BO, the report was accepted by the gubmint, and the next launch is on.
Lotta benjamins got torched right there.
Video is dated May 29th...tomorrow???
Hope Jeffy boy burns a ton of money on his play toys.
fAIk
Ping!.............
Express delivery.
Yikes!
Is this the same type of rocket as the one that is claimed to have taken 4 people around the moon and back???
They need Ellwood Suggins to drive.
Takes me back to the days of Vanguard.
That’s gonna leave a mark...
Isn’t the FIRST New Glenn rocket much like that FIRST pancake you make that turns out all wonky so you toss it to the hogs? ;)
Sorry for their loss. Better luck next time. And don’t put any dogs, monkeys or PEOPLE in those rockets until you know what you’re doing! M’KAY?
