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

The mission is still regarded as a success by the corporation. Terran 1 was subjected to Max-Q (highest dynamic pressure), the moment that was predicted to put the most strain on the 3D-printed design. There was no customer payload on the rocket. It instead contained the first metal made by Relativity’s 3D printing machine.
