Reply to comment by tms102 in Virgin Orbit raising $200 million from investor Matthew Brown, closing deal as soon as Thursday by cnbc_official
It strikes me as a solution in need of a problem. The cost to orbit is almost 30x per kg of that offered by Spacex. The supposed selling point is that the relatively small throw weight offers mid-size customers the orbital parameters of their choosing (taxi vs bus) but it's hard to imagine who would find that worth the added cost.
