This is my video of the explosion of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral’s pad LC-36 a short time ago. Includes video & audio from roughly 5 miles away near Jetty Park. That was an absolutely enormous explosion! 🤯
Note: Thankfully, Blue says all staff are OK.
Two days ago NASA just awarded Blue Origin (Jeff Bezos' rocket company) a contract for 3 unmanned moon missions.
The Blue Origin rocket just exploded on the launch pad. This will delay Blue Origin while they figure out and fix what went wrong.
Military launches will also be put on hold. The US military requires 3 successful certification launches before they will trust Blue Origin with military satellite contracts.
This will likely result in more military, NASA and commercial satellites being assigned to SpaceX in the coming years.

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.
The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.
It's official.
SpaceX is going straight to retail investors.
"Certain of the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby will, at our request, be offered to retail investors," SpaceX says in their S-1 filing today.
These shares will be available through Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi Securities, and ETRADE.
Retail will have a huge role in this historic IPO.
