shitass rocket

basic metal can

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

we lovr you guys

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

Cost/flight, sure. But we're proud to take the cake for total cost/kg to orbit at approx. $5.4 million/kg.

[Eager_Space @eager_space]

I'm pretty sure that would give us the highest rocket cost/flight ratio ever.

Ignoring all the ones where it's infinite...

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

There are other ways, you say?

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

Second stage failures suck shit, huh? How's it feel?

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

After today’s successful launch of Crew-9, Falcon 9’s second stage was disposed in the ocean as planned, but experienced an off-nominal deorbit burn. As a result, the second stage safely landed in the ocean, but outside of the targeted area.

We will resume launching after we better understand root cause

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

In other words, we were doing this shit before it was sexy!

[Virgin Orbit @VirginOrbit]

Fun Fact of the day! A lot of people don’t know this because of the spray on insulation we used but LauncherOne was the worlds second orbital rocket to use fully composite tanks
