Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the evening of May 28 during a scheduled engine test at a launch site in Florida.

No one was injured in the incident, but the damage to the launch pad could be extensive. Launch Complex LC-36 is currently the only pad for New Glenn launches. If the damage proves significant, it could delay the rocket's upcoming missions.

No contractor has a lander for Artemis III to test yet. If Bonnie Blue Origin has one, this crate won't be able to get it up there.
