How does the blood circulate in space? Since if you are upside down on earth it goes to you head. What about space?

Wow cool! Btw why don't they launch this from a supersonic aircraft? Or if it's too big, at least a jet liner at 45kft?

I guess the 🚀 is too risky to risk the aircraft. Also, if they dropped it before launch, a launch abort would Doom the rocket. But still ... That 1 cube sat could've been 20+ with an aircraft velocity assist!

The second stage failed due to a telemetry problem and it crashed into the Pacific Ocean. The cubesat was released anyway and ground stations briefly received data from it.
