"At an altitude of approximately 180 km, the upper stage experienced an anomaly. This anomaly prematurely ended the first burn of the upper stage. This event ended the mission." This doesn't really tell us anything new does it? 🤷♂️

My brother's car this morning...
The launch of the Virgin Orbit rocket by Cosmic Girl from Spaceport Cornwall all seems very on brand for the place I grew up in.

Cosmic Girl is in flight!
I never thought I'd live to see an orbital launch from the U.K. Virgin Orbit's 747, Cosmic Girl has just taken off from Spaceport Cornwall to start the, "StartMeUp" mission, the first orbital launch from Western Europe.
In around an hour it will drop the LauncherOne rocket from under its left wing. If all goes well, 4 seconds later, the first stage will ignite and the rocket will then carry its 9 satellites into orbit.
