There is a reason the technically difficult projects are called “Rocket Science”.

In this case, they're going to need a "Rocket Surgeon" to stich that thing back together.

 

Great view

 

 

 

Great view

Around 0:40 from the right side of the frame appears a flying aircraft.
Just Imagine the spectacular view the pilots had of the event.

Putting a Dragon pad abort to scale with the New Glenn explosion

How does that put it to scale? I don't see any comparison at all. According to the an acquaintance who is the curator of a site that tracks just about every space launch since the dawn of time, the New Glenn explosion was the largest rocket explosion in U.S. history, second only to one of the Soviet era N-1 rockets that exploded before it cleared the tower. They said the others also exploded, but after they had burned enough fuel to reduce the explosion to something below that of the New Glenn.

Looks like the just superimposed the rockets, escape test video and timed the Dragon Abort System test with the start of the New Glenn explosion.




They would get hit by the shockwave but what's a few extra G compared to being in the fireball.
