Jeff Bezos' rocket company suffered its first launch failure on Monday.The Blue Origin rocket blasted off from West Texas.
No one was aboard, only science experiments. But barely a minute into the flight, the capsule's emergency launch abort system immediately kicked in, lifting the spacecraft off the top.
Several minutes later, the capsule parachuted onto the desert floor.
Blue Origin's launch commentator called it "an anomaly." The company provided no further details.
