@VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall Anyone would think we wasn't suffering from cost of living crises and surging fuel prices. To infinity and beyond

@VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall Lets not forget Black Arrow build in Stevenage in 1971, with designs for a UK launch pad;

@VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall “We go to space to make Earth a better place.” Make it so!

@VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall Best of luck🍀🎰🍀

@VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall Can we watch this live? NASA still does live covarage of its launches to this day. Surely the UK’s first ever launch must televised live. And subsequent launches!
