thank you for this! I’m really excited for this omg
Yeah, definitely a cool mission. I hope we get some video of the launch.
And… launch scrubbed again.
Let’s hope it went smoothly this time 🤞
Edit: Appears to have launched successfully
Hurray, it finally launched!
There hasn’t been a Pegasus launch in 5 years. I didn’t think they still did these. Neat.

I don’t really think they do. I think NASA have bought the final one, perhaps at a bit of a discount :)
