Jump to 2:12 for launch

Back to the drawing board.

I worked for a major rocket manufacturer in the 1980's and early 90's and every launch is a nail-biter. So many little things can go wrong, but one little thing is all it takes to blow the whole thing to hell.

Does that make Astra’s success rate 2 out of 9 or 2 out of 10? Maybe they should buy their rocket engines from SpaceX.

[HighSierra5]

Well, back to the drawing board.

Second stage shutdown early. Nothing to really see.

[BradyLS]

DAMN YOU, PUTIN!

What? Brandon blames him for everything else!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It was well after first stage separation. They were close to planned upper stage engine cutoff when they had a premature engine shutdown at 7:10 into the flight, loss of control, and velocity started going down.

[Rebelbase]

Maybe they need some Loral/Chicom expertise.

[PIF]

A failure is a failure, except at NASA when failure is indistinguishable from success, or is it the other way around?

[Pollard]

SpaceX meanwhile.

[Houserino]

Fag woke company anyway. 2 out of 9, c'mon. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FVEjHo-UYAAn6uj?format=jpg&name=small

[Guenevere]

This is NOT a Musk rocket.

[SuperLuminal]

Dang!

Without that cyclone experiment data, what will there be to talk about on FR?

[jimmygrace]

But at least NASA has that muslim outreach thing going for it...

[Pelham]

For comparison 5 of SpaceX’s first 6 launches were failures.
