At
WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the
policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly
civility and
consensus building. We are aware that the wording on
Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see
WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as
Constitutional status of Cornwall,
Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!
Virgin has released video of their 29 June 2017 full-duration hotfire test of their second-stage NewtonFour rocket engine. Here's the
video; probably would be
reliable sources with published info as well.

I have just modified one external link on
Virgin Orbit. Please take a moment to review

The reference above concerns Virgin Galactic, a distinct company from Virgin Orbit within the Virgin Group. Virgin Orbit is a spinoff of Virgin Galctic and is a separate company. Virgin Orbit is not publicly traded.
LauncherOne Section
In the LauncherOne section, the current precedent is to list every launch. This seems a little redundant especially since it has its own article. I propose a rewrite of that section with only the first launch and successful launch.

Agree - but despite agreeing :-) I've just edited the section as-is to make the situation with the most recent launch more clear. When I was doing this I noticed how much info about the Cornwall launch was dumped elsewhere in the article, and the secondary sources aren't a great fit with policy either. I think this is because of the difficulty of pulling the headline level needed for this article out of domain sources, which cover the detail needed for the LauncherOne article but aren't the right sources for the "newsworthy" tone of this article. It would be better not to mix the two because I think it would help avoid accidental WP:OR.
If this move takes place it would also fix another issue where the Cornwall launch appears in "other projects" even though it's now a headline historical launch.

And your source says "It is not clear how much ownership Virgin Orbit’s current shareholders — Virgin Group, Mubadala Investment Company, and management and employees — will retain in the merged company." I know that Mubadala owned shares in VORB before it went public. But I think they have sold all their shares since. I checked the SEC filings, and I see that Virgin owns 74.8%, and management owns some, too.
That would leave about 16% for VORB management, employees, and Mubadala, but it could really be anyone else, too. VORB won't say. I could not find any Mubadala in the SEC filings, so either I missed it or their share is below 5%.
