    Commercial space launches are gonna be chockablock full of stuff like these ridiculous Celeste craft huh?

    Great that Vulcan worked well, though, its good if there’s more launch vehicles, but shame about some of the missions.

      I see that as a good thing. Being able to commercialise space launches will provide the infrastructure we’re going to need to really get into space.

      It was the maiden flight. First flights don’t always go so well, so it is not at all surprising that it wasn’t carrying a space telescope, or the like.

      Still, the next flight will be carrying the first flight of a vehicle designed to resupply the space station, if that makes you feel any better
