New SpaceX Falcon launch... finally?

[MrZayas1]

What really sucks is me and my father were IN cape canaveral to go to the space center, and the best thing was that we were going to watch the launch when it was scheduled for the 14th of June, so he was pretty depressed that the people at SpaceX had to postpone the launch for engine failure, but I had a martial arts tournament to go to so instead we saw St. Augustine on our way up to the panhandle

It'd be pretty disappointing, yeah.

Though, I bet it's better than watching a rocket explosion. The Challenger disaster happened because the managers hurried the launch; SpaceX certainly wanted to avoid repeating history.

That's space flight... I flew down to Florida once just to see Atlantis launch but it was scrubbed at the T-9 minute hold because it was too windy. My only regret is that I didn't try again another time.

actually Challenger happened because NASA engineers refused to listen to the engineers at Morton Thiokol when they said it was flat out too cold to safely go. NASA tired of all the scrubbing of the launch decided to over pressure the engineers at MT to get them to shut up and the rest is history as they say.

Had to edit this, forum glitched it into a double post in the same post because it bad gatewayed as i hit post last night.

I assume this is how the person who first walked in that morning felt.

Latest SpaceX Delay Costing Orbcomm Money

www.spacenews.com

[...]AsiaSat of Hong Kong, has already shipped its satellite, called AsiaSat 8, to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, in anticipation of a mid-June Orbcomm launch.

AsiaSat is next on the SpaceX manifest, with AsiaSat 8 to be followed by AsiaSat 6. Both satellites were to have been launched between March and May of this year under contracts signed in mid-2012. AsiaSat had booked a launch reservation with SpaceX competitor International Launch Services of Reston, Virginia, for one of the satellites as a hedge against possible SpaceX Falcon 9 delays.[...]

And coming AsiaSAT 8 launching will made a SpaceX interesting mess, supposed to be launch in july too, they dont give dates...

They delayed again ORBICOM2 moved to 14 July (9th Delay)

Orbicom losing money with his market profit in a fairing on ground. bad for SpaceX.

Well i dont replyed because all other ppl post similar ideas.. the NOAA fallen satellite is a extreme example. like i said more probabilities to some goes wrong.

The Challenger disaster are more complex problem than this Falcon 9, The NASA acted negligently disregarding safety.

The best way is like Antares Rocket delayed too, moved more late date and they are quietly with his SYGNUS pending launch.

I think the problem was more severe than they said. Nobody guarantee that info provided by SpaceX is true, they act with a public relations,,, The only facts are the currently on going troubles. And they will never tell us they have a failure. The public relationships of SpaceX concentrate in make his image feels "PERFECT"

A Delta II launch will be in 1 July.
