ELaNa-20 - Will it ever happen?
So I've been following the progress (or lack thereof) of LauncherOne for a while. Ignoring the whole CV problem, is this launch really going to ever happen? It seems that as we get "closer" to the actual demo launch - we get less and less info.
I guess bad timing to ask this question..... CV may be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

Have a little faith: Virgin Orbit’s space launch business deemed ‘essential service,’ work allowed to continue at Long Beach https://spacenews.com/virgin-orbits-space-launch-business-deemed-essential-s...

Interesting that anyone can refer to even a public web posting about VirginOrbit status on an AMSAT list. Waiting to see who falls out of their chair when they see this.
