[...] technical and financial risks inherent in the rocket business, and the difficult road ahead. Still, Elon Musk and crew must be feeling pretty good right [...]

Yes,the third launch didnt reach full apogee,BUT number 4 was one for the record books!! Every time i watch that video of 4th launch it give’s me goosebumps,especially when they have a clean separation for the second stage!!
Lets all remember the learning curve,growing pains if you will that Nasa had in her early years, except Elon is doing this with all private funding.kudos to him for that.imagine if he had even half of nasa’s budget.
This is, in my view,one of the most important Company’s and again in my view,the most important People we have here doing private Business. We all need to get behind and support Elon.Actually if you count Tesla motors, id say most important company’s (plural).
As an avid aviation and space buff,my Dreams for Spacex are out of this world.(no pun intended)
Hopefully someday ill work there,im working feverishly to get all certifications and degree’s required by Spacex.
We all have dreams!! this has been mine since i can remember.
With hard work and i think all dreams are possible.
Especially in my case with Elon charging forward in this path!!!

Again….. GODS SPEED ELON!!!!!

The RazakSat launch is back on:

Also, a minor correction: Only the third flight was carrying a payload for the govt and was a failure. The first two were demo and test flights that did not have live payloads and were not expected to reach orbit (Although it would have been very cool if they did).

Whoever can create a cheap way to get into space, and then move things to and fro in outer space WILL be the worlds first Trillionaire.

There is an inconceivable amount of money to be made in space for those with the dream and the determination to pursue it.

Heck, he already has a great payment system he could use as well!

Elon has done things that are so important to our generation,first he is inspirational,he has “privatized” space travel which to me is amazing as a avid space buff, we may actually be able to go into space without being a military astronaut,or a billionaire,he has the Tesla car which from what i have read and seen is amazing and breakthrough in its design.Thank GOD for people like Elon,like Ford;Hughes,Tucker,Rutan,and dare i say Tesla he is a pioneer,for me there is love and a passion of these archetypes that makes us all imagine things we may not have.GOD Speed ELON!!!!!
