Yep Ive been swept up by all the hype and excitement myself. But then I realised that the vehicle, supplied by Virgin Orbit to deploy the constellation of nano sats may not even be capable of flying. As far as I know it has never been in orbit, nor has it been tested. As far as testing is concerned I believe that won't happen until 2018 sometime. Aren't we all getting a little ahead of ourseves ? Virgin's Orbiter might turn out to be a damp squib.
