I was looking forward to seeing Starfish try out their docking mechanism, so I'm pretty disappointed to see that Launcher's Orbiter failed like this. Well, I guess part of New Space is a higher risk tolerance. On to the next one.
I guess it's good for Vast (owner of Launcher, who makes Orbiter) to get this flight heritage and experience on their way to crewed space stations.
