mjah Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Article June 4, 11am-3pm is the current launch window. Destination not to be revealed until after launch. Last I heard, launch is contingent on approval of the rocket's auto-destruct device, which would blow the thing up if it became uncontrollable. This article is a bit ambiguous on whether or not the Air Force has given final approval. Yay, private spaceflight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 The article makes the guy come off as a real paraniod. (Paraphrasing) "I refuse to say exactly what we're going to attempt to do, or when we're going to do it, because I don't want anybody to be able to say that anything wasn't absolutely perfect." Still, I hope it works. The description makes it sound like they're at least setting desirable goals. (I like reading that they've got a contract to deliver supplies to the space station.)

Hail_Skins Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 So basically they are going to privatize space flight? This is the first attempt by said private company? If its true than they will definitly be selling advertising space on the rockets very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
