What this launch shows

Cosmic Robotics posted this from an account with 3K followers and reached 218.4 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 161.4 times their following, so this is in the normal range.

It ranks 165 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1 times the median of 688K views.

Reposts led, 245 at 3.5 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5.

A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose. Bookmarks: 529. Replies: 155.

The post opens with “Introducing our tech roadmap at @cosmic_robotics to start autonomous city construction on Mars in the mid-2030s”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory.

It carries a 40-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.

The copy runs 40 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.

It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
