A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded causing a huge fireball which lit up the skies over Florida on Thursday night.

The space technology company, which was founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, said there were no injuries from the incident.

But it’s not just Bezos who will be concerned about the mishap, Nasa hopes the rocket will play a key part in its plans to return to the Moon, as science correspondent Pallab Ghosh explains.
