"Bezos' Blue Origin Rocket Engine Catastrophe: Multi-Million Dollar Explosion"

Blue Origin, the private space company owned by Jeff Bezos, suffered a setback when one of its BE-4 rocket engines exploded during a routine test, causing severe damage to the test stand infrastructure. The explosion occurred just 10 seconds into the test and comes less than a year after Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket failed in mid-air. The incident, which was confirmed by Blue Origin, could further delay the launch of United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, for which the BE-4 engines were intended. No personnel were injured in the explosion.
