Blue Origin rocket engine explodes during testing

This company is as secretive with its rocket failures as the former USSR. What even is there we can talk about in this thread? The CNBC writeup might as well be a LLM riffing on the empty string (""), for all the substance it brings to the table.

I'm enjoying the cognitive dissonance the mainstream media is really struggling with their massive hate-boner for Elon Musk on one hand, contrasted with the indisputable fact that SpaceX basically owns the rocket business at this point, shooting them into space on what seems like every day, and making it look like child's play.

Happens all the time for SpaceX, by design<p>just one example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=AUPxxGVmeNU">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=AUPxxGVmeNU</a>

Comment from Tory Bruno, CEO of ULA:<p>&quot;Every engine, elex box, COPV, etc, gets an Acceptance Test (ATP) as they come off the line to verify good workmanship. (The one time Qual verifies the design. BE4 is qualified). The BE4&#x27;s on Cert1 have passed ATP, as have many others. This engine failed ATP.&quot; [1]<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;torybruno&#x2F;status&#x2F;1678865222604574720?s=20" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;torybruno&#x2F;status&#x2F;1678865222604574720?s=2...</a>

Is blank check bezos even trying? I thought every engineering problem was easily solved by paying the best engineers. And BO salaries are supposed to be considerably higher than SpaceX. Does no one want bigger money and responsibility at the underdog?
