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).
Such a Texas video
Junkyard, highway traffic, and textbook mushroom cloud
The junkyard is across the highway from the test site and is where this was obviously filmed. I would also question calling this “Flight 7” as this is a test facility. No flights originate there.
This man beat Calgon and freed Southern Sun, we should trust him.
