Anyone been watching the Cornwall space launch?

Either at Newquay or on Youtube? Can’t believe that no TV channels are following it. The Youtube stream has been interesting if slightly shoddy at times. Incredible stuff though, will be quite some thing for the UK to be a player in space launches.

Think something has gone wrong though, waiting to find out. Too far away for the Green Flag to go and sort.

Watch a bit of it on the news this morning and some of the 2,000 lucky ticket holders cheering but something had gone wrong but it look good all the same

I’ve seen the real thing in Florida, and plenty of 747 take offs whilst idling time away at airports. Cannot really understand why so many went to Newquay when they wouldn’t see the launch over south west Ireland.

I recall one USN project manager telling me after a couple of unsuccessful anti ship missile launches that they will focus on achieving a successful stage 1. When I asked what that was he replied “ get the b****y thing out of its tube”

I think the meteor in the skies last night attracted more attention?

The take-off and landing was shown live on Sky News (Freeview 233.) Sadly the 'anomoly# had arisen before the aircraft returned.

I also watched the aircraft on Flightaware24. It was amazing how far in time behind TV was. It took off at 22:02 and Sky was a couple of minutes or so behind: BBC 10 news showed it has having taken off "a few minutes ago" after 22:25!!

I was watching Sky News streamed to my PC and it took off in real time!

No mention of where the rocket went, it was released from the Aircraft but didn't manage to get into Orbit. !!!

Certainly must have dropped outside the air exclusion zone. Pundits reckon somewhere near the Canaries if it did not burn up.
