The only thing is, if it's anything like all the other Virgin LauncherOne launches the footage is going to be absolutely atrocious.

To be fair I have zero expectations for the stream, I’m only really watching it so I know when to go and look outside in the hope it’s clear enough to see something

Commentary certainly isn't up to much so not expecting much from the launch either.

Whole load of 70s porn music playing instead of any sort of interesting commentary!

They've got someone's Nan out there holding a mobile phone camera haven't they

Thought it was going to be an actual rocket launch, not a piggy back launch from a plane.

Guess my expectations of a space port were beyond what Cornwall could achieve.

My space ticket says I’m due to set off until 2026.

Bit of a wait until the actual rocket drop. Hopefully they get some good footage.

They won't. Virgin never do.

I'm going to fall a sleep before it launches, it's good that they have this in the UK but I much prefer the build up of a vertical launch even though it costs more etc etc

Hopefully will be good, why don't they have any feeds showing us what's going on in the plane ?

I noticed on flight radar they left it until the last minute to enable the data, and all airspace was cleared.

Think I’ll watch the news clips in the morning. Benny Hill is more interesting at the moment.

Rotate your monitor 90 degrees.

As a Cornishman, I’m disappointed we didn’t take the opportunity to get one up on Elon by sending a tractor in to space

There is a pasty stashed onboard I believe.

This is actually the 2nd UK launch after Wallace and Grommit went to the moon for cheese

Branson’s looking old, thought he was well in to his 80s not early 70s.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get smashed.

It’s drawing a pint glass, pilots had a few Rattlers.
