What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 11.9M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.

It ranks 510 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1247 of 1981.

Reposts led, 395 at 10.2 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: 378. Replies: 314. One bookmark for every 10.7 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

It starts “Great to be with 700+ @googlecloud customers at the historic NASA Hangar One for Gemini at Work”.

It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.

The copy runs 47 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read why posts from large accounts under-reach: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.

Whether a launch needs a video is the guide for it: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
