Falcon 1, Flight 3

Thanks to Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX for all their hard work on Falcon 1, Flight 3.  Ian O’Neill has a good writeup over on Universe Today.  While frustrating, I’m sure these early Falcon 1 flights each provide a wealth of information to a new generation of rocket engineers.  Instead of condolences, I’d like to send congratulations to the SpaceX team:  you’re one step closer to your eventual success.
