ron_ivi writes "SpaceX's website is announced that they had a " great static fire today" where their Falcon rocket successfully had 3 seconds of thrust. Nice pictures and video of the test; and if analysis shows all was well, they'll be launching Thursday."

    I admit it! I was disrespectful of those astronauts in my original post. I am such a terrible person and am burning with guilt. I beg forgiveness from those 14 who passed on, wherever they may be.

    SpaceX has delayed this launch for about two years now. It has filled its followers with false hope that commericialization of space is just around the corner.
    You may not have noticed but on there website it says that they're delaying it again from Thursday to Friday.
