very exposed as if the government because the heart of this is the government's failure on the asylum system. and rather than take responsibility for the math might become a costing around to play and anybody else carry linux, the baby say civil service, the blog, what they should be doing is standing up accepting a broken the asylum system and telling, telling us what they're going to do to actually fix that window on about gallery lenika. now the launch of the world, 1st 3, the printed rocket has been aborted for a 2nd time. on board flight computers, hold to the count down 45 seconds before the rocket was due to stop. the timothy space, which made the rock, it says the grounding was due to no fuel pressure for 85 percent of the rocket is made of the 3 d printer, experts believe that 3 d printing technology will streamline the construction process and cut costs the turn one rocket is built to carry satellites into no earth orbit and can hold over 1200 kilos of equipment. that if the space has

already secured $1650000000.00 worth of launch contracts for the rocket. o tanya harrison is a fellow the outer space institute in seattle, washington. she says a failure to launch is not unusual. the earlier delay this week were due to an issue with a valve that they were able to fix. civilians happens a lot when it comes to luncheons, so it sounds like the rocket itself is in okay, condition from the latest update on their twitter feed. so it might just be another few days before they get another launch attempts. it's a really big update in the way that we can construct rockets. 3 printing is not entirely new to the space sector. there are other companies that are using 3 d printed parts, but relativity has taken the next step to basically 3 d. print about 85 percent of the entire rocket. and so to, to make this advancement they're able to bring down the costs. they're able to make the rocket a fewer.
