Engineers with the rocket company created by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos are trying to figure out what caused the abort system to activate during a launch in West Texas. An uncrewed Blue Origin capsule was being sent into space this morning when the abort system activated, separating the capsule from the New Shepard rocket. The capsule's parachutes deployed and retro rockets fired after what's being called a "mid flight anomaly." This was the 23rd New Shepard rocket launch for Blue Origin.
