In this first launch demo, we successfully completed all of our pre-launch procedures, captive carry flight out to the drop site, clean telemetry lock from multiple dishes, a smooth pass through the racetrack, terminal count, and a clean release from the aircraft.

As we said before the flight, our goals today were to work through the process of conducting a launch, learn as much as we could, and achieve ignition. We hoped we could have done more, but we accomplished those key objectives today.

The team's already hard at work digging into the data, and we're eager to hop into our next big test ASAP. Thankfully, instead of waiting until after our 1st flight to tackle our 2nd rocket, we've already completed a ton of work to get us back in the air and keep moving forward.

Here's our next rocket, built and ready for system-level testing in our final integration area as it waits for its turn to fly to space.pic.twitter.com/Zhc2uDtMMC

boom or loss of thrust

From what I understand, it ignited for 3 seconds than failed to maintain thrust. Likely it crashed into the ocean.

Can you release the footage of the anomaly? You know us space nerds go nuts to decode what happens when things go wrong! Space is hard but LauncherOne is still very capable, there’s always a next time and I’m sure it will be more successful!

Indeed we need video of the earth shattering kaboom.

My heart goes out to the engineers who will be feeling beyond disappointed right now, but at the end of it all this is why we do trials. Well done on getting this far, you'll crack that nut!

Nobody expects a first flight to go perfectly, and the fact that nobody got hurt and separation was clean is a huge success
