A previous Astra rocket launch failed to deliver it's its payload on Feb. 10.

They put a man on the Moon, and send rockets to Mars, but they can't learn the distinction between the contraction "it's" (= "it is") and the possessive pronoun "its."

Regards,

That’s why journalist author Matt Leonard was booted from the rocket design team. That and he could never master how you can divide a half in half.

I do that to. I know better, when I think about it, but my lazy mind is used to apostrophe ess being after names that are possessive. “Frank tried to start Mary’s car, but found that it()s battery was dead. “
