Space X would call their explosion a Rapid Unplanned Disassembly…I wonder what Blue Origin calls their explosion (Rocket Go Boom?)

Isar Aerospace achieves first launch to orbit from continental Europe (not far from where @neph93 lives).

What's your view on this @pechelman ?

[pechelman]

Reaching orbit on flight two is a massive achievement; hats off to Isar, because orbital mechanics don't care about PR. The "first from Western Europe" label feels like a sliced-and-diced marketing statistic, but having more active spaceports to inspire local engineers and lower launch friction is a great win for the industry overall.
