Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is assessing damage to its Florida launch pad after a rocket exploded during a test firing.

Amazon founder Bezos' powerful heavy-duty rocket "New Glenn" was due to be launched for the fourth time. However, an explosion occurred during a test beforehand. The reasons are still unclear.

Jeff Bezos' rocket maker suffered a setback on Thursday as its New Glenn rocket went up in flames.

Blue Origin, which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, was gearing up for a June launch to put a batch of Amazon "Leo" internet satellites into orbit.

After its rocket explosion, Blue Origin wants to complete repairs and put another New Glenn on the launchpad before the end of 2026, according to CEO Dave Limp. That's very ambitious.

The company said in a statement that all personnel have been accounted for.
