That ought to be a significant insurance claim.
Correction, I had a brain freeze. They are both Amazon / Bezos companies.

Reading more it seems like it was a static fire test and there was no payload.
Something about a readiness test or something. Flight wasn't supposed to be for a few weeks.

That's to their credit, if so.
In any event, if the cause and origin of the failure is determined to be the BE-4 engines, then this just paused the ULA Centaur launches as well.

I feel like this is the case 99.9% of explosions like this these days. They test until it breaks and then break it again and again before showtime.

Bezos is such a little bitch. Trying so hard to be as good as Elon.

Small bug.

Whose is Blue Origin? Some reason I am thinking it’s the Bezos celebrity rocket or the one that broke and left NASA stranded on the space station for a year or so.

Yep. Not sure if they can launch the satelittes through other methods.

Well, Frick. Amazon Prime just went up another $25 a year and that premium no commercial level just went through the roof.
