A test rocket in Cape Canaveral, Florida, exploded on its launchpad on May 29. The explosion could be seen for miles, but only two people suffered minor injuries. The rocket belonged to the company Blue Origin, which was founded by Jeff Bezos. Bezos said it is too early to know the cause of the explosion, but they will figure it out and rebuild a better rocket.
