SpaceX rocket explodes, Blue Origin achieves orbit | The Hill

SpaceX's seventh flight test of its Starship rocket exploded over the Atlantic on Thursday, but the company successfully retrieved its first-stage booster, landing in the launch tower's arms. "Success comes from what we learn, and today’s flight will help us improve Starship’s reliability," the company said. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin successfuly launched its New Glenn rcket into space Thursday, carrying a prototype satellite into orbit.

Where's the explosion? This clip had nothing to do with what the title of the video said.

I was born in the USA, but I died in the UOA! United Oligarchs of America 🇺🇸

[MarciKrutel]

Oh, that's terrible, hope no humans died because of Musk.

SpaceX rocket lands, Blue Origin rocket doesn't. Orbit is easy, landing is hard. Kudos to both companies for the hard work.

Very poor reporting. The facts were not clearly stated. Who, what, when, where, and why? Down voted.

[sgytncz]

WHERE IS THE VIDEO OF IT ACTUALLY EXPLODING??

[KaiTakApproach]

I am sick of people making excuses for SpaceX. There is no "but" when there is a launch explosion. There will be no "but" when astronauts die. The launch failed.

Doesn't Zuck have his own rockets? ZuckBezos are the new Elon. God save the planet from these tech billionaires

[sealifett]

Amazing american engineering. Just like the F35....you cant even afford TikTok 😂😂

[LewisNuke]

Space X over Blue Origin any day of the week

[radioghost]

Dang didn't get to see it bloody blow up 😮😅

[DecoderWalrus]

I'm so glad this is the news for spaceflight in 2025. "Rocket achieves orbit".

[a.m.]

So taxpayers' are paying for all these "learning"?

[sKuNKdoSE]

Exploded in mid-air did it? Not in space? You sure about that?

[mavlod]

Woah News Nation, SpaceX rocket was literally cough, youve totally gone biased, knew this channel wouldnt last impartial.

[forreal]

click bait. No explosion, just a talking head showing short clips of it taking off.

[redrum]

Hardly fair. Both partially succeeded and partially failed

[alileevil]

All this testing so billionaires can take trips in space.

[TommyKing-mf]

Starship still has some bugs. They’ll figure it out. No biggie.

[maul]

There is a little bit of title in that bias.
