Skyroot Aerospace hits orbital milestone on first try, unlike SpaceX's four attempts
Often called India's version of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Skyroot Aerospace has successfully sent the nation's first privately built orbital rocket into space. Skyroot made history by achieving orbit during its very first launch, whereas SpaceX required four flights of its Falcon 1 to reach that goal. Similarly, other American firms like Astra and Virgin Orbit managed to reach orbit on their fourth and second tries, respectively.
