Successful Test Launch for Armadillo
As reported by Space.com, Armadillo Aerospace had a successful test launch of their orbital launcher prototype.
I've been checking on Armadillo's progress now and then (the videos are interesting), and it kind of surprises me the level of trial and error they are using to achieve their target. Once they're carrying human cargo, they really won;t have this luxury anymore. Do they have what it takes to plan the best engineering solutions without too many failed tests?
