There's a lot riding on this launch. Pretty much every component is brand new. This is the first flight of this rocket, which has new engines, a new engine configuration, the payload fairing, and a much bigger body than their previous

In case this crowd is missing part of the parody here, this is a Seinfeld startup: the "show about nothing", where George runs "The Human Fund", a fake charity. "The Human Fund. Money for People".

It ain't over 'till it's over. Shuttleworth won't "close the gap", but there are plenty of other wealthy people who might really, really want this to succeed. I'm still hopeful.
