The Telescope has a birthday, SpaceX and China have something to celebrate together and we as a space community are just a little confused. Maybe a just a jump to the left and then a step to the right, with your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight… nah maybe not.

SpaceX had a rough day. After an initial abort on the launch-pad at T-0 seconds they were finally able to get the Falcon 1 rocket in the air only to have the first stage not properly jettison, which caused a total vehicle and cargo loss. No humans were aboard the craft. While this is certainly a disappointment for SpaceX I have no doubt that they will continue forging forward with Falcon 1, Falcon 9 and Dragon.
