Getting into space is never easy and the launch of the rocket from the undercarriage of a plane from Newquay in Cornwall ended in a failure. Which is a shame for the 9 satellites that ere onboard and never got into orbit.
Back in the 1960s this would be expected as we were all learning but one would have thought the Americans would have advised the British on what they were doing and how to do it well.
But what am I saying. The Americans don’t help commercial competitors. I mean we’re not all seeking knowledge together we are just in it to make more money.
