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.

Am hearing that Astra’s record is somewhat less than perfect.

Yeah, 2/10.

I'm hoping they can pull it together- the more successful American private ventures, the better. But I gotta say, when you're batting .200, a loss of payload with failure to reach orbit being described as an "otherwise successful launch" is feeling a bit like a riot being described as a "mostly peaceful protest."

Here's hoping they end up at 3/11...

Or Roscosmos.
