SpaceX Falcon I Failure
An announcement from SpaceX states that the launch failed due to a fuel leak and subsequent fire.
"Musk said the fire began about 25 seconds after liftoff and cut into the Falcon 1 rocket’s first stage helium pneumatic system used to pressurize the booster’s fuel tanks. Once that pressure dropped, the Falcon 1 rocket’s Merlin engine shut down about 29 seconds after liftoff, he added".
Musk added:
"I cannot predict exactly when the next flight will take place, as that depends on the findings of this investigation and ensuring that our next customer is comfortable that all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure reliability," Musk said. "However, I would hope that the next launch occurs in less than six months…SpaceX is in this for the long haul and, come hell or high water, we are going to make this work."
So, maybe Elon Musk IS aiming to be D. D. Harriman. Good for him. Even better for the human race.
