@Rebel44CZ Well that definitely was a pitch-over maneuver

Will Elon Musk and SpaceX Ever Reach Mars? #mars #elonmusk #science

Everyone trash talking needs to Rember that SpaceX failed many times in the beginning. This is a new launch company and space is hard. Hopefully they got their data and can do better next time!

Orbit is hard — congrats on the attempt and good luck for the next one @isaraerospace!

Congrats to isar for clearing the pad, hopefully it didn't fall right back on the gse

Elon Musk right now…

Why did they switch the cameras on the best part! Thatt could have been epic last few seconds. Anyway, space is hard, we all know it.

Crashed on takeoff, it was a test flight, keep trying!!!!

Under 24 hours until the NET launch time of Isar Aerospace's Spectrum flight 2. I'm back in Andøya with NSF - NASASpaceflight.com supporting the campaign. Another step towards providing launch services in Europe. As the clock ticks down, let's take a slow-motion look at the first launch.

The first rocket from mainland Europe might reach space tonight. Isar Aerospace is launching their rocket, Spectrum at 22:00. If successful, it will be a major win for European Sovereignty, allowing us to launch more satellites 🇪🇺

A ton of historic firsts last week. Our Relativity Space team proved more in this first launch than most companies (and even countries) ever have in their maiden attempt: ✅ first methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is China) ✅ first nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by passing Max-Q, the max stress on the rocket ✅ first methane orbital-class rocket to successfully complete stage 1 flight, main engine cutoff, and second stage separation in the West (only other is China) ✅ first-ever second stage ignition attempt during the vacuum of flight for a methane fueled orbital rocket in the West, collected first-ever flight data ✅ continuing data reviews, and will bring learnings to our future rocket including Terran R ✅ one really ecstatic launch viewing experience - here, as close as one can get to the launch pad. INTENSE 12 of 10, the reaction makes perfect sense when being there, surreal 🤯
