Thanks for the heads-up Brent.

We wish them the best of luck.

Love the names of the rockets. You can tell they are engineers.

If you could give us another heads-up when it launches, it would be appreciated.
We'd love to hear how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Wow they've got to be P'd off at the reason for the loss of the first flight!
Let's hope they (the third party comms company) have got their act together this time!

To be sure I'll be watching and letting you all know before it happens. It should complete orbital injection this time so that will be a big achievement.

They got what they needed from the first launch, it was already 240 km up when they aborted it, well into space teritory. It just hadn't quite made orbital speed so no big loss and they have sorted out the issue at ground level.

Yeah, DEFINITELY engineers ....
