Virgin Orbiter filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday. Laid off 85% of staff. Can you have a space port without launch capacity?

Space X have won the low orbital launch market, and hardly surprising given the low-tech dated alternative from Virgin.

A great way for Cornwall Council to spaff a £1,000,000 of tax payers money.

£20 million of public money (ten times the amount "invested" by the private sector) to create "up to" 150 jobs when unemployment was at its lowest level in 40 years...🤔
