Posted on: Wed Apr 15, 2009 9:10 pm All of the previous failures are understood and fixed. I can't say anything about the success of the entire mission as they have not delivered a working craft to orbit before. I do, however, think that they will succeed.

Posted on: Thu Apr 16, 2009 3:42 am Should be successful, but seeing that they haven't launched a real payload into orbit before it doesn't been its 100% guarnteed.

Posted on: Sat Apr 18, 2009 2:46 pm Six weeks - must have been a serious problem, obviously there is still a few things to iron out with Falcon 1. I agree this doesn't bode well for Falcon 9 launching this year.
