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.
