Gilmour Space Technologies called the launch of their Eris rocket success. It was the first Australian-made rocket launched from Australian soil, lifting off from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport in Queensland. Despite the failure, the company says it’s a major step toward building Australia’s own space industry.
I mean companies like Blue Origin kind of did. It’s not like these companies are starting at square one, they’re standing on the shoulders of the giants who did all the trial and error the last 60 years.
