The 23-meter Eris rocket, developed by the famous Australian startup Gilmour Space Technologies, was supposed to make its first flight in mid-May. However, it turned out that the rocket’s launch was canceled at the last minute for an unusual reason.
The company’s technicians discovered a fault in the electrical wiring before the flight, which caused the rocket to be delayed. When the technical team analyzed the cause of the fault in more detail, the story took on a more interesting tone: it is suspected that the fault in the cables was caused not by a person, but by a large cockatoo parrot.
According to company officials, this bird showed great interest in the electrical wires located on the launch pad and may have damaged them several times. Although a full investigation has not been completed and the bird’s guilt has not been officially confirmed, company representatives suggest that the large cockatoo “may have played a significant role” in the sharp increase in electrical voltage in the rocket’s system.
Gilmour Space Technologies is currently conducting an internal investigation into this strange incident and is working to fully determine the exact cause of the wiring failure. They plan to officially announce a new flight time for the Eris rocket system soon.
It should be noted that cockatoos, which are common in Australia, often attract people's attention with their extreme curiosity. However, for the first time in history, this bird has stopped a rocket launch, causing a stir among the public. This incident is also being actively discussed by Australians on social networks.
The rocket that the cockatoo managed to stop will soon try its luck again. This time, they also plan to consider measures to protect against birds. The humorous phrase "cockatoo against flight" is widely circulated on social networks. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
