The whole story of #VirginOrbit is such a massive shame. Look how hopeful this video was, the possibilities were endless. New jobs were to be created, new science and technology careers for young people would come to #Cornwall. For generations anyone wanting to follow a technical career had to leave. Maybe now things would start to change? Then on 9 January 2023 the first launch from Newquay failed to reach orbit. Game over. They later declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy on 4 April 2023. Sad times 😔
