minus-squaretiredofsametab@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up33·3 months agoNot very orbital, then, is it. Jokes aside, rocketry is hard and I hope they gained the data to make it work next time.
minus-squarePennomi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 months agoYeah it’s pretty much a requirement for a new space company to crash their first rocket. At least that’s my default expectation. Space is crazy hard.
minus-squarelnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoDid they forgot about the abort mission function? That rocket went ballistic into the ground. Also, years of years of rockets (and missiles) development, and it’s still so difficult.
