It's so cool to see the first #flighttest of #IsarAerospace!
Congratulations to everyone involved! It was a huge step towards space!

Isar Aerospace's first Spectrum rocket climbs away from Andøya Spaceport in Norway. Credit: Isar Aerospace/Brady Kenniston/NASASpaceflight.com Isar Aerospace launched it's first Spectrum rocket. Despite a duration of only 40s, the flight is still considered a success. It has produced lot's of valuable data and insights. Move fast and break things, I suppose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKLQxe2MvpQ&t=2015s
Here's a Youtube link instead of the X link:

Full sequence starts about the 1 minute mark; rocket becomes obviously wiggly about 1:20. #IsarAerospace #SpectrumRocket

It did indeed land, as we learnt 12 years later, but failed to operate. My point wasn't of course to blame those who tried to put a rover on Mars with a budget close to that of the Ingenuity helicopter alone.
But when I see titles like "First orbital rocket launched from Europe falls to the ground and explodes" in The Guardian, I feel pissed off. It's absurd to see ESA quoting #IsarAerospace's "great success" about the same test flight that others say Europe had a miserable failure.
Schon beeindruckend, was der erste (Fehl-)Start einer deutschen Kleinrakete so alles ist und kann. 
Rocket crashes back to Earth just moments after launch in Norway.

Another step towards european sovereignty

Erster kommerzieller Orbitalstart vom europäischen Festland endet in Fehlschlag. Die Spectrum-Rakete von #IsarAerospace stürzte nach nur 30 Sekunden ab. Das Startup sieht den Test dennoch als Erfolg. https://winfuture.de/news,149969.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

good take by Scott Manley on „going full spectrum" #isaraerospace launch attempt. Peak altitude: about 500m, possibly a control -not hardware- issue, First orbital attempt from Western Europe (Ariane does not launch from europe). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFyMAaeYdvs

Europe's first ever rocket launch from european soil had their first test today.
Congratulations on Isar Aerospace!

#IsarAerospace CEO apparently likes Orwellian newspeak, and toots their 30s flight (that's 𝟑𝟎 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔) that ended in RUD as a “𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔”.
The CEO should be reminded that 80+ years ago his compatriot Wernher von Braun managed to get his V2 rockets cross the Kármán line and, as an added bonus, dropped them unstoppable into London, killing thousands. That was an actual success.
Exploding test flights ain't "success"; putting satellites to orbit is.
