What an embarrassing moment for Blue Origin. You know that feeling when everyone is hyped about an upcoming product, but when it finally arrives, it turns out to be a disappointment? That’s exactly what happened with Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket. From the beginning, Blue Origin and SpaceX were seen as perfect competitors. Both companies were founded by ambitious billionaires around the same time-Jeff Bezos for Blue Origin and Musk for SpaceX. This similarity in their origins made the competition seem perfect and fair. However, while SpaceX has launched hundreds of rockets and developed multiple successful spacecraft, Blue Origin has mostly been in the news for its failed tests and lawsuits.
One of SpaceX’s rockets that truly left Blue Origin in the dust was the Starship. This was a game-changer, and it put immense pressure on Blue Origin to prove itself by developing something equally powerful and ambitious. In response, Blue Origin announced the New Glenn rocket, which was supposed to be a large, reusable rocket that could rival SpaceX’s heavy-lift vehicles. However, for more than a decade, New Glenn remained largely a paper project, with little to show in terms of public tests or tangible progress. Jeff Bezos faced increasing criticism for the lack of results, and it became clear that Blue Origin needed to make a big move.
Recently, in an effort to regain credibility and show the world that New Glenn was more than just a concept, Blue Origin decided to conduct a test. Expectations were high, and there was significant buzz in the aerospace community. However, what followed was nothing short of a disaster. During the transportation of New Glenn’s upper stage, the structure crumpled-an incident that was likely caused by improper handling during extreme temperature changes. This wasn’t just a minor setback; it was a catastrophic failure that cast serious doubts on Blue Origin’s ability to deliver on its promises.
But the problems didn’t end there. Shortly after the transportation incident, another upper stage of the New Glenn rocket exploded during a stress test. The explosion was likely caused by excessive pressure, a basic issue that one would expect to be carefully managed in any serious aerospace project. These incidents didn’t involve the hardware for the upcoming debut mission, but they have certainly raised questions about the rocket’s overall reliability and Blue Origin’s readiness to enter the highly competitive space launch market.

I am not understanding the controversy here? Part of the formula for SapceX's success is they have not been afraid to blow up a few rockets while testing. Better to find the flaws while nobody is on board or you're not carrying expensive cargo. Why is Blue Origin having a test explosion such a harbinger of doom?
They didn’t intend for it to explode.
"Move fast and break things" only works if you move fast. Otherwise, you are just breaking things
The problem is the rate at which they build their vehicles.
SpaceX is building them faster than what they can launch. BO is not.
One of “controversial” occurrences was a massively simple mistake of not following instructions regarding pressure vents. An “oopsie” of the highest order and stupidity.
“Oops, I forgot to set the vents, and the tank imploded”
The need for such venting has been known for a couple of centuries. It wasn’t ’rocket science’ nor ‘push the envelope’.
Sort of like that other “Oops, I forgot to install a bolt, and the fuselage plug flew off in flight” fiasco.
Absolutely right.
The only way this could be embarrassing to Blue Origin is if they learned nothing from it.
The explosion is not embarrassing. Every rocket designer and builder has had set backs. NASA, SpaceX, Roscosmos, and the European Space Agency have all had explosions. It is good for the future of space exploration to have competition, even on a national scale.
Some failure is ok. Failing a ground test this late in development looks bad.
Losing a booster going from Florida outside to air conditioning brings into question the rocket safety.
Blue Origin is an older company than SpaceX and still hasn't achieved orbit while Rocket Labs and other newer entrants have.
Starship obsoletes New Glenn.
Blue origin fails way too often and takes years to get back up… where space x is back up running months later with better improvements. That’s why Bezos is already trying to sell
Competition in the business world is bare knuckles and brutal. I know. I had my own company and I went toe to toe with some heavyweight competitors.
Not everyone who enters this space launch market will succeed. Some will fail. Some will succeed.
Bazos should stick to the carnival ride side of things and leave the Space stuff to Space X
Blue Origin is a vanity project for Bezos while SpaceX is an important goal for Musk.
In essence "One is driven by vision and the other by money" 😂
NASA should not award any launch contract unless the company can do the job.
I agree but they need to waist our money somehow…
@@jackknapp9560Space x is doing well at wasting it.
This is the difference between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Elon has the technical expertise to run Spacex. Jeff Bezos has the money but no technical knowledge, depending on the expertise of his employees. Spacex just keeps rocking on minding its own business .
Bezo is a far more qualified engineer than Musk- oh wait! 😮
In fact, SpaceX has blown up a ton of rockets, too.
Elon doesn't really run SpaceX at all anymore. For that matter, he only owns 40% of the company now, so he doesn't even own it himself.
Plus SpaceX has blown up dozens of rockets, so if we're blaming people for untested rockets deleting themselves from existence, they're suspect #1.
Bezos knows ten times more about engineering than elon. They are both billionaire scumbags, but the most human thing about Bezos is his genuine passion and knowledge of spaceflight.
What does Blue Origin and Boeing have that SpaceX does not….DEI
While Bezos works on his biceps, Mush exercises his mind.
@@billdunnell2779 I think he should spend his money researching how to grow hair on a billiard ball. 😂
@@PanioloBee that would be great..i need some extra hair
A rocket in development exploded, shocking...
There is huge difference between mission hardware, that is supposed to have all the bugs eliminated, blowing up, and SpaceXs test flights that are all development experiments. There is also a huge difference between finding a design flaw as SpaceX does, versus explosions or damage to mission hardware as a result of incompetence, as with BO and Boeing. DEI.
How many new rockets have exploded on initial tests? No big deal, just figure out what happened and look for solutions! Note an Atlas missile crumbled on the launch pad when it lost internal pressure.
New Glen is a competitor for Falcon Heavy, not Starship. Re-usable first stage only. Payload is around 45 tons to LEO, compared to Falcon Heavy's 63 tons, and Starship's 100+ tons.
Bezos should stick to books and groceries.
With that tag line, I did expect to see film of the rocket go boom. Did you forget?
If you study history you will see that Space X had several rocket failures in the beginning. Fortunately they learned from the failures and continued onward to achieve success. Hopefully Blue Origin can do the same.
It’s called stress test. Welcome to aerospace
Bezos is smart, too. In college he wanted to be a theoretical physicist.
Unfortunately you can’t buy a Space Ship..
Pretty good video! The Blue Origin crew need a motivational talk. They seem to have the equipment they need for success. SpaceX seems to get by having to invent what they need.
When there are more successful companies making it to space that will be a good thing for the industry and mankind. Look at the mess that Nasa and Boeing have become since they were the only show in town for so longy. I'm hoping that Blue Origin and other companies like it have great success. Competition is good.
...and if they fail there is always submarines....
Thanks for this.
Wasn’t that a test to failure?
Lots of differences, and one of them is Gwen!
The only similarity between Bezos and Musk is that they are billionaires, and that is where it ends. Bazos is indeed a great Businessman, whereas Musk is a man of science and technology with an immense background in research and a tremendous entrepreneur in Rocket Research and engineering.
11 hours after this vid was posted, it’s already outdated. NASA has now turned to Elon and SpaceX to bring the astronauts home - early 2025.
SN3 suffered from a vacuum implosion. I have seen the same thing happen at one of the local spirit distiller bar, It is surprisingly easy to accidentally implode a hollow tank.
If Space X provides an Uber to the two astronauts, it is a win. Bring them home. NASA needs to get out of the way and let the equivalent of the Cajun Navy come to save the day.
Why waist time there going to need landing gear on the moon and mars
I'm sorry but nobody can compete with SpaceX. And if so they better get on it!
Perhaps simply rename the rocket "Glenda"????
then itd have a meltdown every 28 days
Not really an embarrassed moment since it is still on a try and error stage.
In this competitive environment one should neve gloat on your competitors failure as you are also capable of same.
The two competitive capitalistic space Ferengi... how wonderful.
Musk iterates fast expecting ruds.
This is the first prototype of blue which blue up and the next prototype will be when????
BENZO started two years earlier buddy. PERFECT AND FAIR, what or who are you some kind of a computer werdeo.
Bezos wants tourist, musk wants mars.
If this had been "Test Hardware" this would have been perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately this was 'pre-sold' flight hardware for New Glenn 2 and 3. Bezos isn't conducting any "TEST" flights. All Flights are carrying live payloads for NASA and other customers.
With Falcon Heavy, Elon sent a Tesla Roadster, with Starman at the wheel, to Mars as a "Proof of Concept" Launch.
The Bezos rocket looks like a giant..JOHNSON-
Independent UA-cam journalists have reported that Jeff Bezos is preparing to sue his rocket for failing to meet expectations. 😮
Could it be that Musk is smarter than Bezos?
Not enough testing and too much quality control.
SpaceX do have passionate Elon Musk for space expedition compare to other Head Director or other billionaire. The most important question how did Elon Musk hired all talented people work for him at SpaceX. but i like his hands on interview style and NO A-hole policy
If you look at Falcon 9 debut, It was'nt that easy, and there was some problems. New Glenn is just starting, and some mishaps will be solved. Falcon 9 is now the best, but a lot of work was required. Same with Blue Origin, they will make it work. Blasting them on the first try, look a bit pretentious. Lets wait a little before making a Judgement!
I wouldnt laugh too hard if I was Elon..
Starship hasn't left Blue Origin in the dust - yet.
That would be the Falcon 9 and to a lesser degree the Falcon 9 Heavy.
Bezos likes looking at his long, thin rockets moving horizontally (down the road). Why risk damaging such pretty things? He spent two hundred thousand dollars getting that feather just right. What other tattoos might he have?
Bezoz’s head looks like his space capsule.
Bezos is about as good at putting ships in space as he is at putting Tolkien on the screen.
Blue Origin are suffering similar explosions and challenges that Spacex have suffered - how many take off and landing trials of Starship were carried out before the first successful landing? So hammering on Blue Origin does not give them the same space given to Spacex. Admittedly, Blue Origin have been very secretive with very little information being let out to the public. Their whole motto has been to engineer out faults with 110% engineering. As an engineer, I can tell you that, no matter how much you look at a design challenge, there will always be something that pops up that you did not expect. And then you deal with it...
Blue Origin is also older than SpaceX . The failures and successes of SpaceX FAR surpass BO in the same time-frame.
SpaceX has over three hundred (300) successful orbital launches, including manned launches.
BO is STILL at the sub-orbital phase that SpaceX was with ‘StarHopper’.
not really sure if blue will get to orbit, in the nest few years
Elon Musk Space X can only get better each flight due to his team’s dedication and his leadership only drawbacks are the FAA and his competitors 👻
There shud not be so much negative comments against Space companies ( regardless of against B.O., or Boeing, Spacex, Firefly, etc ! We shud all be supporting and encouraging all missions to advance Space. Of course there are favourites and going to be winners and losers - but like the Olympics we shud encourage all !!!
As you may recall, Musk also experienced a number of setbacks in the early years. NASA, and now Boeing, also experienced a number of failures as well. I’m optimistic that these competitors will succeed..
I don't know but if was everyone else I would go to Elon and see if he plays well with others?
Blue Origin should have spent its money or rocket design instead of lawsuits to try and slow down the competition, or maybe they hired to many Boeing employees. From what I have read working at B.O. is toxic. Some have said the same about working for Elon, but there is a huge difference between a hard job pushing 60-80hrs per week that requires excellence vs 40hrs at a toxic work environment. Managment makes the difference between a great company or hated company to work for, ben there done that!! Jeff B reminds me of a spoiled little brat that had a fit until he got his participation trophy even though he came in last place
Cool now learn why and do it better next time. Competition makes things better and makes people work harder.
MAYBE One Day in Boca Chica ..... the BF Prototype , Half figured out , Blockhead 2 or 3 Rocket ... will get fully figured out , finished and Fly good enough to live up to it's ... Unbelievable Rule the Galaxy Future ... :-/
Derp video, states only the obvious
Call in the Germans
All part of the Bezos toxic culture
THIS video is sponsored by SpaceX
Read Elon Musk's book. A VERY interesting person. Driven. And much of his efforts have been towards the betterment of our world. Then take Bozos --- no character, just a money grabber. People become billionaires for different reasons --- Musk earned his, Bozos chanced on an opportunity and took advantage of it. I don't care if SpaceX did sponsor this vid, it shows how some people succeed and others make a mess of things.
Truly embarrassing to see so many grown adults on their knees for Space X
All this crap is beginning to make me doubt they really had moon landings in the 60’s
Sorry, I had to turn it off. I refuse to watch KAMALA HARRIS commercials!!!☠
if you are born for that...then is not easy, but is posible...so Blue is born for surface things...for deep space , you need to be born like deep person
