See: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...&channel=space Musk/SpaceX are developing an able and experienced workforce, and hopefully, the most hard and costly part of their learning curve is past now. However. I hope to see successful Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 flights, retrievals, and re-use of hardware, before they send off the DragonLab. The distance from today to DragonLab still looks seriously large to me. Titeotwawki -- mha [sci.space.policy 2008 Nov 06] |

That it seems Musk has to go back and spend time trying to rescue Tesla probably doesn't make that distance any smaller rick jones -- oxymoron n, Hummer H2 with California Save Our Coasts and Oceans plates these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |

I know some owners have received their vehicles, but other higher-volume models still seem a long way off from production. --Damon |

Let's hope that their Falcon-1 adventure was a learning experience and that they can get Falcon-9 into orbit without so many failures. Once they get Falcon-9 up and running they are set to become one heck of a profitable company. |
