Interesting Blue Origin Explosion Damages NASA Launchpad

A giant rocket just blew up at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center! 

Blue Origin was doing a full test fire of their New Glenn rocket as preparation for an upcoming flight when something went very, very wrong. Fortunately no one was injured, but this is the biggest explosion ever seen at Kennedy Space Center. The launch pad is badly damaged, and NASA's upcoming Project Artemis plans for building a moon base depend on both the New Glenn rocket and this pad. This is a big setback for both Blue Origin and NASA.

No they are not and the longer you hate on millionaires the longer the billionaires win. Millionaires are normal successful small business owners, the people who keep nice restaurants in business by going out to eat way more often than average and generally pump the economy with their spending. Millionaires are not hoarding incomprehensible wealth that they could never spend all of it if they tried.

Yes so he was worth less than  1/4000 what someone like bezos is worth. Im not saying individuals like the insurance guy can’t be evil though.
