π Blue Origin Traced Its New Glenn Explosion to a Faulty Oxygen Valve β Here's the Fix

The fix is a small valve modification that can be retrofitted to existing engines β including the BE-4s powering United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket. No return-to-flight date has been announced yet. How long do you think it'll take Blue Origin to get back on the pad?
