    Timing is everything - especially when trying to schedule a launch at the Cape. Wishing nothing but the best for the SpaceX folks!

    Obama is going to be hated even more when Falcon 9 blows up...if they ever get the balls to fly the thing. Elon Musk is a bullshit artist and our gov. fell for his BS.
