Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 179 interactions against 475K followers, an engagement rate of 0.038%. Posts are seen about 23K times each, and 0.772% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.88% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.23 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.6K interactions, about 9.0x its own typical post. Only 3 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

“Without avionics, the spaceship doesn’t do very much. It’s the nervous system of the vehicle.” Behind every Virgin Galactic flight lies a symphony of sensors, wiring, and data, transforming thousands of signals into information our pilots can trust. Watch how avionics brings our spacecraft to life in episode 7 of We Build SpaceShips.

We showed you the lower. We showed you the upper. Now watch them become one. SpaceShip’s fuselage is mated. Crew station locked in. Cabin floor set. The aft fuselage is already building behind it. Next, this ship will meet its wings and feather. Momentum is everything. https://t.co/GFzFX2kRZ1
