Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp stated that the New Glenn rocket will launch again before the end of the year, despite a recent explosion on its launchpad. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, however, suggested that repairs to Launch Complex 36 might take until 2028. The explosion occurred during a hotfire test, and the cause is still under investigation, though Limp indicated the rocket's fuel tanks are intact and the support tower is repairable. AI
