A crowd had gathered for the rocket launch at KoonibbaThe businesses involved say they can learn from the launch failure
A crowd of more than 200 at the Koonibba Aboriginal community was counting down until lift-off when Southern Launch chief executive Lloyd Damp announced there had been a misfire."This is one of the things we've been training for and practising for the last few days."We'll unpack the rocket, work out what went wrong, and we might be back as early as tomorrow to try again.Koonibba Aboriginal School students who came to watch said they were disappointed.
"I don't think it's a real rocket launch activity unless we have at least one failure to launch," Mr Spencer said.A crowd turned up to watch the rocket launch but left disappointed. "We're taking some of the information that we were going to learn this week to incorporate into some of our software," he said."If we're fortunate enough, we'll be able to push that through in 18 months.Royal Australian Air Force Group Captain Tobyn Bearman said the air force was interested in supporting DEWC and Southern Launch in experimenting with the "next step" of sensors that were built into the rocket's payload.
2020 is all a bit of a misfire really 😫
We never didn't invent WiFi or the Blackbox, BTW.
Hey how about writing articles that were supportive of our own industries rather than shitting on them. We need to help curate & hone our own skills. Not trash talk them & put them down. It is un-Australian Yes share set backs but you could do it in a supportive light
Its a first try. What's important is they are taking forward steps. Why is always so negatively portraying things
Another Morrison government triumph.!
Great start even when it was misfires
Not sure why the negative news. NASA has had 160 failed mission rockets launches and none of those were prototypes.
A result of brain drain over the years. I would say Australia has missed it’s window of opportunity.
This has got to be a satirical tweet from chaser
That's never happened before...... honest 🤥
😂🤣😂🤣 oh that cracks me up..! We can’t even build a half decent car... What makes us think we can build a rocket..? 😂🤣😂🤣
That's what happens when you buy a rocket on ebay.

Koonibba Aboriginal School students who came to watch said they were disappointed. 'We just came out here for six and a half hours for no reason,' one boy said. .. Bless this little boy 🧡

Australia's space and science sector subject of deep interest in Chinese database leakChinese company Zhenhua Data tracked a secret package from the CSIRO's Deep Space Communications Centre outside Canberra all the way to NASA in California , leaked information shows. Just stop fear mongering. Trump won't give you a trade war bonus This just shows how naive our government, Universities and business is when it come to protecting sovereign assets. China’s list of industrial and technical discoveries is about as long as a grain of rice. They steal and copy everything they produce and use.

PM threatens private sector with government intervention in gas market | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the gas market and build a new power station in the NSW Hunter Valley unless it can come up with a plan and funding over the next seven months.\n\nScott Morrison will today call for the exploration of more gas reserves including the creation of a new gas hub in Queensland.\n\n'As we turn to our economic recovery from COVID-19, affordable gas will play a central role in re-establishing a strong economy we need for jobs growth, funding gas services and opportunities for all of us,' Mr Morrison will say in a speech.\n\nThe move is in response to the planned closure of the Liddell coal-fired power station, slated for 2023, and the significant cost it would have on Australia's energy market as the government seeks to pay down debt accrued as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n I would've made it 7 days, this has gone on for way too long Yeah, sure they will ! Morrison does a lot of talking but no one takes much notice these days. If the government were to commission a power station, it would be years away. If new legislation was required. It would not pass the senate, and never happen. How quickly Libs flick the switch to socialism when their precious market fails taxpayers again!

Australia's race against China's 'rare earths weapon'There's a gaping hole in the world's development of rare earths that threatens to hit militaries as much as it does consumers. | Report by China correspondent ErykBagshaw ErykBagshaw We have a few rare earth companies besides Lynas which is processing in Malaysia. Arafura Resources and Northern Minerals are both looking to go into full production right here in Australia. The problem is the lack of support and funds from our governments and manufacturers.
