So though I wish Orbital well, their track record for trouble free first
launches is not great. Lets hope this one is an exception!


Incidentally what was that launch vehicle called in the 90s that launched
from the same site but blew up leaving a couple of out of control solids
racing upward? I believe it was cancelled shortly after that failure.

Is this the one you're thinking of?
