“A subsystem problem”: Jeff Bezos’ rocket launch turns into a flop

Takeoff ultimately did not take place. New Glenn, the big rocket from Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space company, was unable to fly into space due to a problem, the company announced.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company will have to wait again for the maiden flight of its large New Glenn rocket after its launch overnight from Sunday to Monday was canceled due to unspecified technical problems.

“We are abandoning the launch attempt to resolve a vehicle subsystem issue that would take us beyond our firing window“, said Ariane Cornell, a Blue Origin executive, during a live broadcast attended by hundreds of thousands of spectators.
