Also just to manage some expectations.. the rocket will not fly. This is just a firing of the engines I believe.

- reitzensteinm 14y agoThey REALLY need to say that on the page. This has the opportunity to spread virally and the crowd doesn't manage expectations very well :)
- pavel_lishin 14y agoYeah, I just managed to embarrass myself in half a dozen IRC channels. More so than usual.
- lutorm 14y agoWhich part about "STATIC FIRE TODAY" did you miss?
- rflrob 14y agoFor an enthusiast, it may not be clear exactly what "Static Fire" means. While Static means non-moving, it also means the hissing noise on mis-tuned analog connections, and it's not inconceivable that it has another overloaded meaning.
- nknight 14y ago> For an enthusiast I think you're misusing that word. A space flight and/or specifically SpaceX enthusiast would recognize the terminology instantly. Assuming you mean something like "amateur" or "layman", thinking anything without the word "launch" in it is in fact a launch still seems a remarkable leap of illogic.
- yaix 14y agoMy guess would be, the "static" part.
- lgeek 14y agoEven worse, it was just a 2 second test.
