JUST NOW: Jeff Bezos’ New Glenn rocket has EXPLODED into a MASSIVE fireball on the launchpad at Cape Canaveral in Florida
It literally looks like a NUCLEAR BOMB went off.
@ElonMusk responded: “Most unfortunate. Rockets are hard.”
Insane to watch.

From Blue Origin’s homepage
Blue Origin’s Sustainability Story
For the Benefit of Earth
Our Commitment to Earth, Space, and Community
Earth is humanity’s forever home. Yet Earth is finite, and it’s our job to preserve and rejuvenate it for future generations. This requires developing short, and long-term sustainability solutions at home and in space. Blue Origin exists for the benefit of Earth.
We recognize the importance of protecting and restoring our planet and strive to minimize our carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices in all aspects of our operations here on Earth.
Sounds a little too woke for me.
