Too Long; Didn't Read

Virgin Orbit attempted to launch a satellite using a large airplane, but the rocket LauncherOne failed due to a technical anomaly in the second-stage engine. This failed mission was a major disappointment for the UK space agency as it aimed to be a major player in the space industry. Despite the failure, the UK is still known globally for building satellites. This raises questions about the reliability of unconventional launching methods. Regardless, the famous quote from President John F. Kennedy emphasizes perseverance in pursuing difficult endeavours.
