YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded in a massive fireball while undergoing a test on a Florida launchpad Thursday evening, dealing a major setback to the Jeff Bezos-backed firm in its efforts to challenge a dominant SpaceX.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matt Bloxham joined Caroline Hepker to discuss the implications.
