A massive fireball painted the sky over Florida orange as an uncrewed Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad during an engine-firing test on Thursday ahead of a satellite launch planned for next week. The setback came as Bezos' Blue Origin is going head-to-head with Musk's SpaceX to design the lunar landers NASA will use to return people to the moon. Musk responded to footage of the explosion on X, writing: "Rockets are hard."#worldnow šŗ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:š https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg š Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws I
