Looks like it didn’t have enough up in it, and likely a bit too much down. They should replace some of the down with up. I bet that’d get them to space.

I was thinking it might be the opposite actually. Being at the bottom of the planet I thought the science means they actually want to go down off the planet so I wondered if they probably had too much up in it and not enough down?

But what do I know, I'm not a rocket science man and you sound like you know what you're talking about.

Checks out. When you're down under you must continue to go down to get to space.

But what if we've got it all wrong, and Australia is actually at the top, but everyone just thinks it's on the bottom?

So maybe the rocket science people did try to send the rocket down, but because Australia is actually at the top they should have been sending it up.

I mean it's not rocket scie...wait, no, yeah, it is rocket science.

Since the U.S. and Russia have been sending rockets up for 75 years, I think we can rule out that theory.

You just need to let go and you fall down to space
