Yes they did, and Elon Musk was hilariously incomprendible, probably from relief.
Screw the Chinese, let's hear it for assembly line space travel.
- quickpost 18y agoThis is AWESOME. It could change everything, space-wise. No more being held hostage by the Defense Contractors or the Russians to get to orbit. I think the Falcon 1 is about 1/10th to 1/7th the cost of the nearest competitor at $3million to orbit (compared to ~26million for Pegasus).
