Absolutely awesome :rocket:

Well done to all…
No mean feat getting a new spaceship off the ground!

What do you think of the spacesuits?

There is still plenty of space related activity going on in the U.K.

I get the feeling I might end up watching the right stuff tonight.

According to mikes link above it’s a full new design

Like the new cadet space syllabus!!! Oh wait…

Elon said in an interview he took iron man as an inspiration for them
