Blue Origin Rocket Explodes
Most unfortunate. Rockets are hard.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I think you have to get off the ground before the FAA can ground you.

Kidding aside, only a few days ago, the FAA ungrounded Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket. It had been ground since a mishap with the upper stage in April.

sometimes failure is baked into the launch to find where the edge is, some SpaceX and Starship failures have been 'planned' etc.

This was not planned and far more destructive to the pad and the future plans of Blue Origin and the moon.
