## Caption

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin company is committed to sending astronauts and supplies to the Moon as part of Nasa’s plans to build a base on the lunar surface.
 
The first, Moon Base 1, is due to be flown on Blue Origin's robotic Blue Moon Mark 1 "Endurance" lander, and is targeted for launch no earlier than autumn 2026.
 
It is unclear if this explosion will delay these plans.
