I’d say they blew up more than a few.

Was that the same rocketship Katy Perry went into outerspace on?
This is the New Glenn, which is designed to be a heavy lift orbital rocket. Perry flew on the New Shepard, which was a suborbital rocket, with limited lift capability.
In the interim this helps SpaceX and maybe Rocket Lab. Rocket Lab currently has the Electron, which is a light lift rocket for small satellites, but they’re developing the Neutron. The Neutron is a medium lift vehicle that can deploy satellite constellations.

Think the companies have had purposefully different trajectories.
Blue Origin’s former CEO ran the company like an old school company (think Boeing). Bezos fired him because they weren’t making any progress.

Guess I’m wondering what the Incoterms are for rocket payloads.

I could’ve brought them to the promise land. But they passed on my application and didn’t want to interview me. Guess I dodged a bullet

Yup. With leaders stuck on making schedule and not allowing proper testing and procedure or hearing concerns from the engineers, this is what happens when accepting risk and cutting corners. Seen it happen time and time again. Guaranteed this is the case.

Saw speculation that they skipped WDR and another test and went straight to static fire. Not sure if that's accurate (or relevant), but could offer some insight.

Gotta admit that’s a fantastic explosion. You’re gonna explode your rocket, you do it like that. Big effects

I can't find the rocket, but I can find the tower with one support column blown out. That should be fun to figure out. At least the other tower was kind enough to fall down.
