A New Glenn rocket has 5.5 GWh of energy (first and second stage).

The Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima had 17.5 GWh of energy.

The largest non-nuclear blast was Operation Minor Scale (1985) with 4.65 GWh of energy.

The largest non-nuclear accidental blast was the Halifax explosion (1917) with 3.37 GWh of energy.

The Blue Origin rocket explosion has shook homes, rang doorbells, and in some ways felt like a mini earthquake, and looked like a nuclear fireball on the Space Coast Thursday evening.

The 320+ foot tall rocket is one of the largest rocket explosions in U.S. history. It was fully fueled of liquid oxygen and liquefied natural gas.

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.

You believe in judging people as individuals.

But when you defend merit-based systems, you get called racist. When you say you're "colorblind," they say that's harmful too.

Here's why libertarians keep losing this argument. 🧵

Who is John Galt?

The question is more than the opening line of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, it has become a defiant rallying cry for those pushing back against authoritarian government overreach.

But what does it really mean?

In this powerful video, Jennifer Grossman, CEO of The Atlas Society, unpacks the deeper meaning behind one of Ayn Rand’s most iconic phrases. From its mysterious appearance in the novel’s first pages to its adoption by individuals pushing back against collectivism and statism, “Who is John Galt?” captures the spirit of individualism and heroic achievement.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Rand or just now exploring her work, this video invites you to discover why this simple question continues to resonate — and what it says about the kind of world we ought to build.
