For those keeping score on Firefly Alpha’s track record:

  • Flight 1: failure

  • Flight 2: partial failure

  • Flight 3: success

  • Flight 4: partial failure

  • Flight 5: success

  • Flight 6: failure

  • Flight 7: today’s ground explosion

This compares to Astra Rocket 3.0’s track record of 2 successes out of 9 launch attempts (including ground failures).

    Turns out this shooting stuff up without exploding is harder than expected! I thought it wouldn’t be so hard, I mean it’s not like it is rocket science!
