@PINKIE going to watch the UK's first ever rocket launch into space from Cornwall tonight.

I hope he doesn't accidentally find himself trapped inside.

It's going up on a modified 747 I think, so whilst it's great for Cornwall. It won't actually make that much of a viewing spectacle to be honest

Might watch the live stream later .

It's an old Virgin plane as you say that's been modified. Hence the name Virgin Orbit.

Reckon my spell of employment might be coming to an end soon. Probably got about 6-8 weeks before I start to run out of money :(

A friend of a friend as been working on that, been an absolute nightmare, basically took over his life for the last 4 months, nearly walked away a few times.
Well that went well. Sounds like Stevie G. is now working at the spaceport.

Melissa Thorpe, the head of Spaceport Cornwall, expressed disappointment but added: “We’re a resilient team. This isn’t the first time we’ve been knocked but this is the biggest definitely. We’ll get up and we’ll go again.
