    The statement 'This type of launch system is ground breaking and has never been used previously at all' may not be quite correct:

    Given that it was 1959 I'd still say it's pretty groundbreaking - shouldn't sully their achievement at all! Nice to see Spain in on the act as well!

    Low cost + environmentally friendly makes it a win-win. Also great to hear that spain still exists, hehe.
