billionaire space company suddenly realizing they miscalculated how much other billionaires were going to want off the hellhole rock they created
Still got a lot of years of lootin’ and plunderin’ to do, they ain’t leavin yetThey tried pivoting to orbital launch. It failed so badly they didn’t try again.
Virgin Orbit? Yeaahh it’s not too surprising that they shut down after all the launch failures. It’s a little disappointing that they were one of the few launch startups with some differentiation. It was a dead end that didn’t make sense as the main thing for a public company, but it would have been cool as a little product line that flies 10x a year for some bigger company. Rip.
