Isaacman Visits Blue Origin Blast Zone
Isaacman visited Blue Origin's Launch Complex 36 in Cape Canaveral, Florida, to inspect the damage and meet workers following Thursday night's blast. The May 28 incident occurred during a planned ground static-fire test of a New Glenn rocket booster, producing a large fireball that lit up the night sky.
The NASA Administrator visited the blast zone with Bezos and Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp, who surveyed the damage and spoke with affected engineers. In an X post Saturday, Isaacman said NASA would not "sit on its hands" while partners worked through the setback.
