New update from Feb 6:
QUOTE As an additional reliability measure, SpaceX will conduct a full test of vehicle systems, including initiating the flight countdown autosequence and briefly firing the main engine on the launch stand. This test will take place Thursday, February 9 (California time). If no flight critical anomalies are detected, launch will take place on Friday, February 10.

* SpaceX Delays Inaugural Falcon 1 Launch at Least One Day
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/06020...con1_delay.html Space Exploration (SpaceX) Technologies' third attempt to launch the Falcon 1 rocket on its maiden flight has been pushed back roughly 24 hours to Friday, Feb. 10 to allow for more tests. * ASTRONOTES: Private Spaceflight Firm Partners With Japanese Researchers http://www.space.com/astronotes/astronotes.html Rocketplane Limited Inc. has entered into an agreement with a Japanese research group to take experiment specimens into space. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
