Elon Musk Is Betting His Fortune on a Mission Beyond Earth's Orbit
- froo 18y agoFlagged as this is an old and very much out of date article. Here is a video of flight 4 that was successful. (awesome to watch too) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To-XOPgaGsQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To-XOPgaGsQ Also, an update to the article which people might not have seen was that SpaceX was recently (less than a month ago) awarded the contract from NASA for resupply missions to the International Space Station. http://www.spacex.com/press.php?page=20081223 http://www.spacex.com/press.php?page=20081223
- jscn 18y agoI realise this is an older article, but today was the first time I'd seen it and I found it very interesting. Is it bad form to post older articles? (I realise this is Hacker News, but I was assuming it's more important that it be interesting than new...) Thanks for the updates. That video was awesome.
- delackner 18y agoI had not read the article, so I thank the original poster for it, even if it is "old". Well written, not too gonzo, classic wired.
- bprater 18y agoArticle is great, but dated: it is from May 2007.
- colinake 18y agoWatch this summer for the launch of Falcon9 from the Cape. Pretty pics of Falcon9 on the launch pad for testing earlier this month: http://spacex.com/updates.php http://spacex.com/updates.php
