Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin headed back into space after accident

Blue Origin plans to launch its rocket, Big Shepard, for the first time since an accident in September 2022. The accident prompted an FAA probe, which concluded that the accident was caused by a higher-than-planned temperature of the rocket’s engine. Blue Origin has made changes to be allowed to resume launches. Blue Origin is also developing a heavy rocket called New Glenn, with the maiden flight planned for next year. Blue Origin is competing with Virgin Galactic, founded by Richard Branson.
