Artemis III Faces Setback After Blue Origin Rocket and Launchpad Destroyed

NASA has chosen four astronauts for the Artemis III mission, but the program suffered a major setback when a Blue Origin rocket and its only launchpad were destroyed.

The loss removes a key rocket and launch site, creating uncertainty for the U.S. goal of landing on the moon by 2028.

Science reporter Katrina Miller describes what this event might mean for the U.S. goal of landing on the moon by 2028.
