Powered by a non-toxic, carbon-neutral, bio-derived fuel made entirely from materials that can be sourced from farms across America. Stardust 1.0 will demonstrate a low-cost and reliable alternative to traditional fuel without sacrificing efficiency. The Modular Adaptable Rocket Engine for Vehicle Launch, or MAREVL™, can rapidly be grouped in clusters and stages with other MAREVLs. This design architecture allows for the rapid assembly of custom rockets for suborbital and orbital missions.

Small cube satellites.
This is a test of the engine capability , if successful will be the start of a journey to clean space launches.

It was a shame about the buffering.
Did I miss-hear or was that a giant F bomb from the commentator?
Didn't see the launch itself but I heard that and thought "must've been a good one!".

Launch is scheduled for about an hours time from the start of this thread , approximately 2.30-300 EST (7.30-8.00 GMT).
The launch was originally set for earlier today but for reasons has been put back.

Good luck bluShift Aerospace , a nonpolluting launch platform has to be a step forward and thing to be celebrated.

Is it solid fuel?
I didn’t see where it said either way.
