Blue Origin is a competitor to SpaceX. Its founder Elon Musk commented on the rocket incident: "Very sad. Rockets are tricky."
Blue Origin has a contract with the American space agency to supply a lunar lander for delivering astronauts to the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis program.
The Moon landing is scheduled for 2028.
