Elon Musk has reacted after Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin suffered a dramatic rocket explosion during a test at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. The incident involved Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, which was reportedly undergoing a static fire test at Launch Complex 36 when it erupted into a massive fireball late on Thursday night.
Footage circulating online appeared to show an initial detonation near the base of the rocket before smoke rapidly travelled upwards along the structure. Moments later, a second blast could be seen near the pointed nose of the spacecraft, with the entire vehicle then engulfed in bright yellow flames.
