GO BABY GO!
Elon Musk has done it. Him and and his team have launched the first ever civilian devloped rocket to orbit. The falcon 1 made it on it's 4th test flight.
Best moments?
1:22: "Got max Q"
2:40-2:55: I can't even begin to describe how awesome this moment looks.
3:23: "Fairing seperation confirmed"
Sometimes science and engineering is just plain old awesome, people!
For those who don't know, Musk is also the guy who's building the Tesla. Plus, he's chairman of Solar city, a company that build solar arrays. This is what happens when engineers and nerds become near billionares. They don't spend their time with derivates trading, they build shit to move and make the world a better place. His next rocket is going to be what launches the bigelow space-hotels.
Damn I wish I was as awesome as these people.
