Firefly set for first orbital launch today
Capitalism in space: If all goes right, Firefly Aerospace will attempt its first orbital launch today from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, using its Alpha rocket to place a test payload of science experiments in space.
The launch window is from 6 pm to 10 pm Pacific.
If you wish to watch, I have embedded the live stream below. That stream however have been very poor. The stream is working better here.
Note: They had a launch abort right at launch, and appear to be recycling to try again.
