SpaceX Go Boom
Not quite sure how I missed this. It appears that Elon Musk’s Falcon 1 rocket, which I have been waiting for with bated breath for years, exploded on its maiden test flight. Given that the rocket is supposed to be reusable for super fast turn around time and cheap launch costs, this is pretty grim. They have another rocket on tap, but still, this is an inauspicious beginning.
