Blue Origin Rocket catches Fire

 

An unwanted incident happened on Monday morning in Texas where Jeff Bezo’s company Blue Origin suffered an uncrewed rocket crash shortly after its launch.

The space rocket was set in fire moments after its flight which was carrying necessary scientific research items. The Federal Aviation Administration FAA, declared that it would investigate the incident from all aspects.

         Blue Origin declared the incident as an anomaly occurred but didn't explain what the anomaly was during their webcast of the launch, though Erika Wagner, senior director for Emerging Space Markets for the company and the webcast commentator pointed out that "safety is our highest value at Blue Origin. It's why we built so much redundancy into the system."

 In its post-mission update, Blue Origin wrote “during today’s flight, the capsule escape system successfully separated the capsule from the booster. The booster impacted the ground. There are no reported injuries; all personnel have been accounted for.”
