Summary
Blue Origin has begun rebuilding Launch Complex 36A at Cape Canaveral after a New Glenn rocket explosion on May 28 destroyed both the rocket and key pad infrastructure. The company is taking a different approach this time, using a crane to lift the rocket onto the pad rather than rebuilding the same design. The article covers the accident's aftermath, the redesign strategy, and the implications for Blue Origin's launch schedule.
