The very Bad Blue Origin's Rocket Explosion

“No, it’s Necessary” just exploded in what may be the largest rocket explosion ever seen on Florida’s Space Coast.

But this is more than a giant fireball and a lost rocket; it could lead to many consequences and delays across the space industry.

The dramatic event was captured live by NASA Spaceflight, whose footage made this video possible. Consider supporting their work if you enjoy their coverage.

Update:
Yesterday, in what was the largest update yet, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp took to X to share some good news. He wrote:

“Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.”
