Disappointing end to UK space mission as satellites fail to reach orbit
- dsq 4y agoI read too much pop culture references in the article, not enough engineering. At the risk of sounding cruel to the hard working folks in the project: Hype is fine if there’s really exceptional chops behind it, and a string of successes. If not - keep quiet and plug at the technical stuff. Sounds like the parties were premature.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoMy understanding is that this is pretty much all US hardware that happens to be launched from the UK but an US company. They had 2-3 previous successes I believe and really hyped this one because it was launched from the UK this time.
