An unmanned test flight of the New Shepard suffered a catastrophic engine explosion. The capsule seemed to successfully separate and landed normally, but that would have been a *damned* rough ride, with a bunch of eyeballs-out G’s for a few seconds.
On other launch matters: Firefly is gonna try to launch again today, not sure what time:
WHOOPS: scrubbed.
And NASA wants to try to launch Artemis on the 23rd.
