Insane moment space force rocket blast lights up night sky #rocket #explotion #breakingnews A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket owned by billionaire tech giant Jeff Bezos has exploded on a launch pad in a disastrous test in Florida. Live footage showed the rocket burst into an enormous fireball at the start of a test around 9pm on Thursday at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.. The company later described the explosion as an “anomaly” during a planned “hotfire test” - a procedure where engines are ignited while the rocket remains fixed to the launch pad. “All personnel have been accounted for,” the company added. Elon Musk, whose own rival aerospace company SpaceX has experienced its fair share of rocket failures, had a cutting one-line response as the explosion went viral online. “Most unfortunate. Rockets are hard,” Musk wrote on X. https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/jeff-bezos-rocket-explodes-into-massive-fireball-during-test-in-florida-elon-musk-weighs-in-on-
