A repurposed Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 aircraft, named Cosmic Girl, carrying Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne rocket, takes off from Spaceport Cornwall at Cornwall Airport, Newquay, England, Monday, Jan. 9, 2023. The plane will carry the rocket to 35,000 feet where it will be released over the Atlantic Ocean to the south of Ireland, as part of the Start Me Up mission and the first rocket launch from U.K.
U.S.-based Virgin Orbit attempted its first international launch late Monday, using a modified jumbo jet to carry one if its rockets from Cornwall in southwestern England over the Atlantic Ocean. The plane, piloted by a Royal Air Force pilot, returned to Cornwall. The rocket and satellites were destroyed.
Using a jet? Seems like the tech by NASA, SpaceX, Russia,China, and others is pretty similar but not Britain.
Sadly, the only place Brits get into space on their own power is Gerry Anderson shows from the 60s and 70s.
North Korea was able to put a satellite into orbit lol
The British have a long history of failures to build upon
