Anyone watch the Falcon 9 launch today.
It was awesome – the second stage vacuum engine is really cool.

Congrats to SpaceX – this is the first new-space company to reach orbit and the first orbital flight where development costs were NOT paid by a government entity. Elon did it….finally.

They’ve been at orbit for a while with the Falcon 1, but this is a significantly heavier-lift vehicle. Definitely a great accomplishment.
