Gilmour Space's Eris rocket to ignite crowds at Abbot Point's new Bowen Orbital Spaceport launch pad

Australia’s first locally made orbital rocket is poised to blast off from a small north Queensland town next month.

The 23-metre rocket has been lifted into the vertical position for the first time.

Gilmour Space is waiting for launch approval from the Australian Space Agency.

Rentlar,

Well, maybe don’t have the crowds stand that close to the rocket if you don’t want them ignited.

Didn’t even notice until now, but yes it is an unfortunate choice of words in that title…
