[00:00:00]Breaking space news, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket just exploded during a routine test. Here's everything we know so far. Blue Origin was getting ready to perform a routine [music] static fire of their New Glenn rocket's first stage.

[00:00:12]Everything looked good until Immediately after the seven engines ignited, the rocket blew up causing what could be the biggest explosion of US rocket history. The fire looked to originate from the bottom of the first stage. While it's too early to know exactly what went wrong, it may be a problem with the engine [music] startup or something like that. But, we'll have to wait and see. Although no one was injured [music] and there was no payload on board, a big part of space launch complex 36A [music] at Florida has been reported to be damaged. You can see especially no rocket transporter erector, but also one of the right side lightning towers is also gone. It's likely that New Glenn won't fly again this year, [music] but hopefully the team's learn from this and get back to the pad with an even more reliable rocket.
