Exciting that launches now feel commonplace. I don't know how launch frequency has increased over the course of the past few years but with Space X and Blue Origin all over the news, launch missions feel commonplace.
- greenhouse_gas 9y agoBlue Origin doesn't really launch yet. They launched a few (I think, they are famous for being much more secretive than SpaceX) test flights, but nothing to orbit yet. This was a Orbital Sciences/ATK flight (two somewhat old-space companies[1] such recently merged). [1] Orbital Sciences was founded in the early eighties, and ATK was old enough to be the contractor to build the shuttle SRBs.
