Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explodes during static-fire test

Charlie Fillenwarth625

NASA, sitting back and watching Musk and Bezos shit their pants trying to build a rocket:

flowerpot13.bsky.social290

Yeah,private firms can do it better than NASA..... 🙄

Eat the Rich 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦188

Now do it with Bezos aboard.

Roland98

If only we had some government agency that successfully launched space craft so routinely that we forgot they were doing it. But of course government could never do anything as well as wealthy dilletantes.. /s

Egregious Philbin85

Damn, that must of cost Bezos about 15 minutes worth of his hourly earnings...

Comfortably Numb76

Bezos stopped making his rockets in the shape of penis. That was his fatal mistake.

The Resistance CO73

Hahahahahahahahahhaha What a fucking choad! Just blowing up shit when he could be doing good for millions of people.

Uncle Space Ghost43

Everyone in charge of going to space is a moron now

Seth Joseph42

I mean good. Billionaires shouldn’t own access to space. We don’t need to privatize every damn thing. Just makes monsters.

SanDiegoan39

If you hit the like button at the 22 second mark then it feels like you are blowing up the rocket yourself

blackvulcan69.bsky.social30

Between this mess and the Space X crap 💩 show, the United States isn’t landing on the moon and or building a “pie in the sky” moon base. These two boondoggles are both white elephant money pits.

Fucking Kakistocracy29

The people we could have fed and housed with that money. The healthcare we could have provided. The teachers we could have given a livable salary.

BlueDotBubba@LesDepew.bsky.social27

Your tax money at work, yes it was his money, that he got from us. Billion$ contracts 🤷‍♂️

When did the people grant Bezos the right to cause this level of environmental destruction?

Yet, NASA was able to master this six decades ago.

this is why my amazon order took too long to arrive

Take these billionaires' money and give it all to NASA.

she was right, everyone apologize

kingink13.bsky.social12

Beginning to wonder if the whole privatised space race thing is a ruse and these billionaire knobs just want to blow shit up.

ALCDNIndige (He/Him)12

To whoever you meet next that says the "private sector" can do a better job...show them this video...cause this is the result of PS failure on a grand level.

Lee Ping11

Fund NASA. Defund oligarch techbros.

ATM10

I just want healthcare, dawg

New Mexico Man10

Maybe the guy that delivers cheap DVDs and bulk diapers shouldn’t be building rockets.

MJ of Everything is Public Health Production10

Waste. Billionaires have space toys while millions suffer.

steve3797.bsky.social10

.. Wonder how much of the Explosion was Our Tax Dollars ?

Rick Schmitz10

You have to admit that Bezos and Musk really know how to put on a fireworks show.

Ken9

These people have too much god damn money.

Kindler9

No symbolism here for what the Tech Bros are doing to America...

In unrelated news, subscription fees for Amazon Prime just went up.

Silicon Valley Dude9

Jeff my man would have been a lot simpler to just burn a pile of $1,000,000,000 worth of cash.

Bob Clouse9

I just thank God every day that we pulled all that taxpayer money out of NASA and handed it to these assholes.

G-ster🇨🇦🇺🇦8

LOL. Well maybe rockets and not for Bezo's.

I can’t imagine what John Glenn would say right now, but I bet you would know instantly he was a Marine.

Boys and their toys, think what this has done to the environment 🤬

Peter Wilkie 🏳️‍🌈5

Any chance he was on board?

This moron makes all these explosions possible 🥴💩🗑️🤷

vietvet66.bsky.social4

🤣🤣🤣🤣Too bad that the money Butthead Bezos spent(wasted)on his penis envy project,could have been spent to help people struggling with everyday challenges in this worsening economy!Hell what his plastic fantastic wife spends on all her body putty could fund every food bank in the country for a year!

World’s Most Intriguing Man™4

God is pissed, billionaire Jeff Bezos is destroying the planet he created. 😂

tickdowntozero.bsky.social4

Sure glad all that money is going to a good cause

Todosco Jones the liminal spaceman4

Is that our money on fire?

B1nky Ⓥ4

Why use your billions to solve world hunger when you could be failing at playing rockets instead? 🙄

Elle4

I’m assuming that it was not supposed to do that…😬

BostonBorn26 ☘4

We're literally buying his toys for him.

Mind Unguent3

This is the quality you get from privately funded ventures who are only out for profit.

EmergRN3

Awww-Bezos ineptitude and genuflecting to Oval Son of Satan means it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving Fascist ass kisser than Bezos. Unless it was fElon.🤣😂

Renard Swift3

Fuck Jeff Bezos, the evil motherfucker.

TooManyDaves3

Anything and I mean anything to avoid paying taxes. Is this failure a write-off?

Mark Pöpsel3

I mean…it’s static and it’s on fire

Absurd_Dad3

Fuck bezos. Hope that was close to a billion dollar firework.

Ryan Ballengee3

Imagine hating America so much that you would rather spend billions blowing up a rocket on the launch pad than either paying a fair share of taxes or bothering to stand up the Washington Post as an endowed nonprofit

Glaug-Eldare3

BADASS EXPLOSION HOLY SHIT THAT WAS COOL

effyouceekaymaga.bsky.social3

We are paying for this nonsense too. Nothing for the tax payers, everything for the aholes who have trained the knuckle draggers to think gay people and immigrants are the problem.

Wobedraggled3

Couldn't happen to a nicer moron...well save for the other one.

Feklar669 SLAVA UKRAINI!!! ANDOR!3

I hate to be in opposition to the space program, but I can't get behind anything that benefits fascist oligarchs.

Bye bye $35 free shipping

donnayoungdc3

Expect your Amazon Prime subscription to go way up to pay for Bezos' exploding toys ...

Bren of Oz3

Another rapid unscheduled disassembly. Sad.

So many houses and trains locked up in the stupid metal exploding penis. RAISE TAXES NOW.

Starman-X2

My heart weeps for Jeff (not). Too much time having his lips surgically attached to Trump's fat ass to pay attention to his little pet project. What goes around comes around and some need that wake up call. I am optimistic his hopes for big NASA contracts are now toast (like his rockets).

They do this on purpose to launder money right?

They really should have added some more shielding around that exhaust port

Someone please calculate how much fossil fuel was wasted and greenhouse gases emitted so I don’t feel as terrible for putting a frozen meal plastic wrap in the trash instead of the recycle bin.

Eowm of Meow2

Could someone *please^ get these billionaires some sparklers and (small) fireworks?

christian e. scheuer2

Just wait until they blow up a ship full of celebrities and some poor schmuck that wins a free ride. Headline "Blue Origin blows up ship full of b-list celebrities and plumber." or "Unlucky Construction worker dies in fireball abroad Blue Origin launch with crew of B-list Celebrities."

Nice Joe Greene2

It looks bad but sometimes they just do that.

misteree1.bsky.social2

One of the world’s biggest billionaires doing his bit for the planet. Spending billions polluting this environment in an effort to go to a place with no environment.

Oh no, his dick rocket exploded

Look at all those dodged-tax dollars burn!

Elon pointing to his Engineering abilities

The man from Planet X54

Fun fact: the explosion cost an estimated $200M in hardware and launchpad damage. If that capital were instead applied to the ~20,000 public school teachers in Queens, it could have funded a *$10,000 raise* for every single teacher, or a massive *$25,000 raise* for 8,000 of the borough's educators.

matchafterdark.bsky.social48

there should be a vice tax on rocket explosions

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW26

Bezo's gets $5.4 million a day and Musk gets around $8 million a day from us, the tax payers. We need to put the space back in the NASA programs and quit paying leaches. Make the contracts to the bidders not a couple of assholes.

too bad Bezos was not on board

Someone forgot to release the parking brake.

Humanitarian Drummer11

Sadly Bezos was not on board!!! The rich cancers are going to kill people. NASA safety culture during Challenger and Columbia were horrible but these oligarchs make their actions seem almost just

Franca (Ph.D.) 🇨🇦10

Bezos seems to have built a bomb, not a rocket. It was most refreshing to watch Artemis II mission, compared to anything billionnaires toying with rockets have produced.

foolwatcher2025.bsky.social10

This is how the rich waste our tax dollars

jeff belli9

What a mess, just like Lauren Sanchez's face.

Fuck it. I'm using the plastic straw

"Move fast and break things" has never been funny.

JohnWhorfin4

Whole lotta boom. Giving elno a run for his boominess. Can a Whitehouse Lawn Bezos-Musk Cage Match be far off?

ChuckBS4

I’m of the opinion that if you annihilate the launch pad with your privately funded rocket you forfeit your funding to NASA for a couple of year.

bluesmaster4

*tsk, tsk* All that ill-gotten money, up in flames...pity...such a pity...

Ars Politico - 🎨✍️🏳️‍🌈🌊4

Any celebs have tickets to hop on to the next launch?

Dan Uneken3

The world absolutely does not need to go to the moon or mars. All this techno only serves to dominate militarily and politically while we all go under in a climate disaster. The explosion is a perfect metaphor for what’s wrong with us. 😡

Rachel 🌈🚺 🥄 ♿️💙3

Wonder how many free lunches could have been paid for instead of lighting the money on fire 🤔🤔🤔

WgwWvf3

Bc enquiring minds want to know! But no worries! = That won't happen as long as you keep schmoozing around with Trump! (& besides, it's the American TAXpayer who is paying for it!) Whopee!!!

Dave Dewey 📎🇺🇦🇵🇸3

Now Bezos knows how Musk felt when he threw that rock at the Cyber Truck’s “unbreakable” windows.

Jeffrey3

our tax dollars at work. Free money for Bezos, no accountability to the Tax Payers.

lupogato.bsky.social3

Collects spaceflight insurance. Blow another one up. Gets government contracts. Win, win.

Sunny3

"An anomaly". Heard it blow from 45 min away.

ellenmarch.bsky.social3

Maybe not worth the reminder, but our own NASA has a higher success rate. Cd we get back taxpayer dollars wasted on Elon losing?

jmarty6263.bsky.social3

All future launches/tests should require Bezos and his plastic wife be in a capsule on the rocket. I bet there would be no problems then. America should prepare for loss of life in any future space travel, just saying.

Jason Fink Photography2

Does this hurt the rocket?

sam1am4bg.bsky.social2

NASA never had as many costly failures as these private Dicks do.

yellinatseagulls.bsky.social2

Is it just me or could the billionaires be rushing to build a colony on the moon because they do know the climate is literally “toast” and the best way to survive is hole up on the moon till all the toxic dust settles? In the famous words of Belle, “ It’s just a thought.”

StabbyTabby 🔪🤘2

Looks like any other company who just wants to meet deadlines and profit margins so they throw away quality control.

Isn't the thrust supposed to go predominantly downward rather than in all directions at once?

Antofields2

And ultimately being able to create ecological disasters on the moon and other planets. Been reading SciFi since 1972, which often is set in a future universe with humans everywhere. With every year passing, I'm more convinced we should never ever let our species go out there.

Zymandias2

Can someone explain why so many of them are blowing up when we have rockets and spacecraft that usually don’t blow up already? Are they building it from scratch and forgetting what all of the functional rockets do in order to work?

donnakcool.bsky.social2

Is ANY AGENCY monitoring how much heat/chemicals all these rockets are releasing into the atmosphere?!?!?

TorquePolitics2

Typical anti-science, far-left hysterical nonsense from people who failed basic math in middle school and still hate the smart kids who sat at the front of the class. 🥱🥱

Elon musk is garbage, and he is polluting our one planet with his garbage !

luckyt726.bsky.social2

SPACE X STRIKES OUT AGAIN! Un safest rocket operator...who had multiple fed investigations prior to Trump...on Elon under Biden, gas blown up Another Rocket...nothing to see here🙄🤦‍♂️

Rddwrf2

Wow. That bomb is almost as large as their appearance at the Met Gala.

PutOutToPasTURE2

Just think, both these bozos, and Bezos, want to put a NUCLEAR rocket with supercritical salt water on the pad one day soon. Won't that be pretty? EEPP!

deerwhistle.bsky.social2

When these rockets explode it is no different than a toxic release and fire at a refinery. It's the same thing when exploding in flight and coming down in the ocean. Dirty, dangerous, forever chemicals are released and who if anyone pays to clean these disasters up?

ddunny56.bsky.social139

All these billionaire rocket/space hobbyists need to just stop. Give money to NASA and let them engineer for the U.S.

Liz Ahern 🌈🇲🇽🐸☮️45

All I see is money that could have been spent feeding kids being blown up and our environment being polluted and for what? To charge the rich “suborbital space tourism” when we have humanitarian needs on earth?

Snuggs34

Was that not supposed to happen? I'm new to rockets

BKinDetroit30

You can see where it goes wrong when it explodes

chrisbaileyguy.bsky.social22

How about no billionaires get any government funds unless they go on these rockets.

This is why billionaires shouldn’t be in charge.

h0pe4dfuture.bsky.social6

Everything Musk touches is trash. His management policies reflects his lack of technical knowledge, lack of respect for the real professionals and the part of his ego that makes him cut corners that are crucial and hire losers to do highly technical work.

Wow. It will take SpaceX *some* effort to top *this* "rapid unscheduled disassembly"™, I reckon.

Maybe Bezos should stick to delivering packages.

I'd call that a static fire that expanded dynamically. 🙄🤭

poormansumbrella.bsky.social42

Maybe, just thinking out loud here, we give all this money to NASA and serious scientists and stop giving money to billionaires and their vanity projects. What caused this explosion? Billionaires and their arrogance and likely a whole host of butt-munching sycophants.

kMikaZu 🔻🇪🇺🇨🇦🇵🇸🇺🇦☮️22

The sheer madness of all this is staggering. Those missions mainly support oligarchs like Bezos and Musk. To compensate their small egos. Imagine all the good things that could be done on this planet. Instead, a stupid race to the moon and space. All that money now literally gone up in smoke…

Volf16

Remember before we privatized space travel and we made it to the moon on a calculator and some lady who wrote a metric ton of code on paper?

healinghands65.bsky.social14

NASA should be given back to NASA and get rid of that fuck stick Musk altogether

MTfromCC7

That picture is Bezos in a nutshell. He lost his wife, he lost his souls and it’s only a matter of time before he explodes completely.

Donna Belgum-Shroyer5

Karma is paying Bozo a visit and I’m all for it! The fk’n right wing trumptard Nazi mfkr❤️❤️❤️

PublicWrx5

Imagine having your own personal space rocket blow up and it doesn't affect your financial situation in any way whatsoever.

GayGuy5

NASA should not be working with private entities. The American people have paid for NASA for decades. Any knowledge that NASA has belongs to the American people NASA should not be given away for free that information to private entities We need to start charging Blue Origin and SpaceX fees.

I love NASA but Bezos can suck it

Not a word about the ecological catastrophe in the wake of the blast.

The Starship is remarkably behind and now New Glen will be. This is the problem when you want to save a handful of dollars: They failed.

Greg Probst17

Catastrophic explosions normalized: Bezos and Musk clearly lack the competency required to build spacecraft. It IS rocket science.

Goth Rat Summer17

"It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it,” Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos said on X. “Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.” WHY DON'T YOU REBUILD AMERICA, JEFF

This is an easy fix. Put Jeff Bezos on the next rocket. Either the company does a better job and the launch is successful or Jeff Bezos goes up in flames. Win win.

When you waste your time building a glorified elevator to lift your elitist celebrity friends 50 miles up, then 50 miles down, and achieving precisely NOTHING for the human race, eventually your stupidity, shallowness and lack of foresight will come back to bite you in the rear.

Not the fault of NASA that idiot Republicans demand private enterprise to do what the government should do and always at a much higher cost with lower quality. What a shitshow.

Starman-X2

My heart weeps for Jeff (not). Too much time having his lips surgically attached to Trump's fat ass to pay attention to his little pet project. What goes around comes around and some need that wake up call. I am optimistic his hopes for big NASA contracts are now toast (like his rockets).

This waste of fossil fuels needs to end.

So more tax payer money to Jeff Bezos and his fireworks company.

LRG7216

Reminiscent of the Antares pad explosion at Wallops in 2014. Spacex also suffered a launch failure the following year which resulted in loss of payload (including a docking adapter) on an ISS cargo delivery flight. Don't much care for the owner of Amazon but this incident should not be personalized.

Fermion5

ouch that's not good, they'll have to rebuild all of their launch infrastructure
