What this launch shows

From an account with 134K followers, this reached 21.6 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, over 100K followers, reach a median of 2.4 times their following, so this travelled about 8.9 times further than usual for its size.

It ranks 190 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.2 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 746 of them at 2.6 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 4K. Reposts: 916.

The first line is “We have a huge news to share today”. It carries a 51-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 47 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 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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
