A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket experienced an anomaly during a ground test known as a hotfire Thursday, the company shared on X .

A mushroom-shaped cloud rises above the northern Merritt Island tree line Thursday, May 28, after a Blue Origin rocket anomaly at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Footage showed what appeared to be its engines firing and then a massive fireball that enveloped the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida, sending a cloud of flames and soot skyward.
