Relativity Space Launches 3D-Printed Rocket, Falls Short of Orbit Goal

After many failed efforts, Relativity Space has successfully launched their 3D-printed rocket, but the results are mixed. Terran 1 successfully launched from Cape Canaveral late Wednesday, but it failed to reach orbit when the second stage engine fired just briefly. It’s unclear what caused the breakdown, but Relativity promises further information in the “coming days.”
