There are only 2 "#spaceport" 🚀 so far in #OpenStreetMap which pretended to be one unless they never launched something to #space 🌌 (for a considerable amount of time) : #SpaceportAmerica and #CornRanch (#BlueOrigin's #NewShepard launch site) https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/aeroway%3Asuborbital#values. #SpaceportCornwall 🛫 has never been one (other than for propaganda) https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1105816254

There's a considerable amount of #launchpad ⚪ (#balloon 🎈, #research #rockets...) https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=launchpad#values

📆 2 Mar, 2023 #DreamChaser will provide a minimum of seven cargo 📦 service missions to and from the #ISS. #SierraSpace has entered into agreements with multiple international #SpaceAgencies. There's a growing list of compatible runways worldwide where the #DreamChaser could land 🛬 : #SpaceportAmerica, #KennedySpaceCenter, #Huntsville, #OitaAirport 🇯🇵, #SpaceportCornwall 🇬🇧. The first launch depends on the progress of #ULA’s #Vulcan 🚀. https://thespacebucket.com/is-dream-chaser-tenacity-on-track-to-launch-in-2023

Back to work with a bump this week. Still tired after covid, but getting there. Long day with an evening class yesterday, and I've just done the BBC local radio round about last night's attempted #RocketLaunch from #SpaceportCornwall, with eight interviews in just over an hour 😅

Thank goodness for chocolate-coated coffee beans, that's all I can say!

The failure of Britain's #VirginOrbit space launch is like a metaphor for #BrexitBritain. We left the European Union hoping to conquer the galaxy. Instead we just farted into the wind.

That UK satellite launch in full.
How it started... and how it ended.

#VirginOrbit 's #LauncherOne has failed to reach orbit with the loss of all satellite's including #Wales very own #SpaceForge.

I would be fairly certain that the #LauncherOne undergoes the "BBQ roll" because #VirginOrbit 's comms team vetoed the engineers decision to have the rocket be spitroasted

Congratulations to the folks at #VirginOrbit and #SpaceportCornwall for successfully launching the first ever orbital class rocket from the UK! #Space
