Jeff Bezos’ rocket company suffered its first launch failure as the booster exploded about a minute after liftoff in Texas on Monday.
No one was aboard the Blue Origin flight, only science experiments.

Blue Origin’s launch commentary went silent when the capsule catapulted off the rocket, later announcing: “It appears we’ve experienced an anomaly with today’s flight.
