    Proud of our team for identifying cause of “power slide launch” issue, implementing & testing design changes, & shipping new rocket in less than six weeks. We may still have more to learn, but iterating this fast should result in Astra reaching orbit faster than anyone before us – at Astra

    Reviewing flight data and video, two things are very clear - 1) An engine shut down right after launch 2) Everything that happened next made me incredibly proud of our team. Space may be hard, but like this rocket, we are not giving up.
