The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered Blue Origin, the space company founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to halt rocket launches pending an investigation into a failed satellite deployment. The company's newest rocket was unable to place a satellite into Earth's orbit due to insufficient thrust in one of its engines, according to Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp. The grounding is a significant setback for the company, which had planned 12 launches this year and has announced ambitions to deploy thousands of satellites for internet connectivity — a direct rival to Elon Musk's dominant Starlink network.
