SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket reaches orbit on 4th try Next stop, the moon (and more)
- einarvollset 18y agoThis is beyond cool. I wonder how Team Cringley are doing: http://www.teamcringely.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page http://www.teamcringely.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Last I heard they were abandoning the X Price. I still think they had a pretty cool idea though: Screw sending one (expensive - relatively) rocket, send 10 cheap ones (launched of a fighter jet - wonder if the payload capacity is big enough) and hope 1 makes it. Fault tolerance at it's finest. Sort of the Google approach. Anyways. Should have done aeronautics at school :-)
