Going up today at about 22.16 takeoff if all goes to plan. There will be various places to follow it online. The only thing in the UK to be going up faster than the Boro ... over the last 10 games
 
From the BBC

Matt Archer, the launch programme director at the UK Space Agency, said he couldn't confirm whether the rocket fell back to Earth but said that if it did, it would have come down over unpopulated areas.

So, he can't even say if the rocket fell back to Earth or not, but seems to know if it did it land in a safe area.

Doesn't sound to convincing to me.
 
Does anyone else think they should have been more made about this launch and better coverage of it?

Here's to hoping they get it right next time.

I started watching it but went to bed when Shapps was being interviewed. A couple of cheap webcams on the rocket/ plane and it would have kept my interest I reckon.
