Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket experienced its first failed launch Monday due to an 'anomaly' just about one-minute after liftoff that saw the capsule activate its escape system to pull away from the booster when its engine went out.

The capsule quickly ignited its escape motor that generated at least 70,000 pounds of thrust in just a few seconds and then burned out to allow the craft to deploy its parachutes and coast back to Earth.

This is the first time the escape system had been used in a real situation - previous scenarios were to test the technology.
