Quote: The town of Kindersly should be most concerned after all their credibility is on the line. It's the first all-up flight of a completely untested vehicle. Cape Canaveral's credibility isn't on the line when a Delta gets delayed. SpaceX isn't on the line when they push back their first launch by over a year. Kindsersly doesn't have a credibility problem. |

That makes sense. No rocket = no problem.

Kindsersly doesn't have a credibility problem. Well sure if it were a free event. But its not. No fault on Kindsersly, they just believed Brian was actually going to deliver. In light of facts presented, I doubt that they actualy ever had a rocket to bring let alone one in 2 more weeks, these guys are more talk than action ![]() |

Me, I'm just glad that Feeney had more sense than we'd suspected. I really wasn't looking forward to watching a launch suicide that could negatively affect the private space industry. Good luck Brian, and I hope you eventually make it up. Thanks for pulling the plug.
That said, I think that there must have been some pressure from the X-prize folks to make this look like more than a horse race when Scaled was the very clear front runner. |
