TitleBlue Origin's Rocket Explosion - How Bad Is It?Scott Manley
Hello, it's Scott Manley here. This had Hello, it's Scott Manley here. This had Hello, it's Scott Manley here. This had been looking like a great week for Blue been looking like a great week for Blue been looking like a great week for Blue Origin right up until 9:00 p.m. East Origin right up until 9:00 p.m. East Origin right up until 9:00 p.m. East Coast time when their latest New Glenn Coast time when their latest New Glenn Coast time when their latest New Glenn booster exploded during a test firing. booster exploded during a test firing. booster exploded during a test firing. So, this footage is from NASA So, this footage is from NASA So, this footage is from NASA Spaceflight, their Space Coast live Spaceflight, their Space Coast live Spaceflight, their Space Coast live stream. They had cameras at the site and stream. They had cameras at the site and stream. They had cameras at the site and they caught it. They caught it from a They caught it from a They caught it from a bunch of different angles. And if you bunch of different angles. And if you bunch of different angles. And if you want to watch all their angles, you can want to watch all their angles, you can want to watch all their angles, you can go and watch their stream. I just want I just want I just want to talk about what I see here and what to talk about what I see here and what to talk about what I see here and what are the implications? Because while this Because while this Because while this looks like a fairly big explosion, looks like a fairly big explosion, looks like a fairly big explosion, its effects are far beyond the fireball its effects are far beyond the fireball its effects are far beyond the fireball that we are witnessing. that we are witnessing. that we are witnessing.

- 03The Angle Promise
Point out that multiple views exist, while directing viewers toward the full source if they want deeper footage.
OriginalThey caught it from a They caught it from a They caught it from a bunch of different angles. And if you bunch of different angles. And if you bunch of different angles.
