Launch 52:20 Separation 1:59:00 Anomaly - off plan trajectory- from 2:48:00 onwards

At least it flew with a successful launch All we got to do is wait until we fixed the anomaly and run yet another test launch and hope for success For now back to the falcon 9 we go

Go Ariane Go!

A62 medium launch vehicle. The soyuz replacement, finally flies.

It cleared the tower. Still a success.

Forget how much the force is created by the rockets wasting go find the dudes lost in space 🌌

what happened

Send Captain Benjamin L. Willard!!

Hi Zac

Looks like DEI got them again

It was such a nice launch. Now it's off doing its own thing? I want to see as much competition for Musk as we can get. Let's get it together, folks.

Fake title. reported

Another reason SpaceX should be launching everything

nO THANKS ON THE t-SHIRT, IF i WANTED A LOSER ON MY SHIRT i WOULD JUST GO GET A bIDEN!

Rocket is complicated and dificulte Low safety and high cost We need somethings better Developing technologies to enable human access to space at dramatically lower cost and increased reliability #FeelFree

...the facts the day after ...yes, the start was nice - but the truth is ...there were problems - with the upper stage, of all things, which was largely manufactured in Bremen ...the whole truth of the Ariane project in the following text ...the total development costs of the Ariane 6 project 4 billion + euros financed with 80% taxpayers' money ...the development costs of SpaceX's Falcon 9 project 300 to 400 million US dollars financed purely privately ...the payload of the Falcon 9 is twice as large as that of the Ariane 6 ...the costs charged to customers per kg of payload are at least twice as high for Ariane 6 as for Falcon 9 ...the ESA expects around 5 to 6 launches per year with Ariane 6 in the future ...SpaceX expects around 90 to 100 Falcon 9 launches in 2024 ...by 1 July 2024, there had already been 54 / a total of over 350 successful launches to date

Glad no earthlings were stuck in orbit, tho we have many politicians in our world that seem that way ... I think not of the unsuccessful civilian launches we've had, I am amazed at all the successful ones we've had. But I meditate that we do not become like the Earth in the movie W A L E E, where so much space stuff is left orbiting the earth that we won't even get back to the moon, given the possibility such space garbage might collide with a human research space craft... In other words, we cannot even invest in a way to get rid of the sea garbage strangling our oceans, we better see the looming threat that leaving used launchers and other space garbage can cause, which also falls into our oceans
