SpaceX's first Falcon9 launch this Friday

SpaceX's blog is a great read, particularly the launch descriptions. Going through them is a good way to pass a slow day.

Should be cool to watch the launch if weather cooperates. You can check out the webcast here <a href="http://www.spacex.com/webcast.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.spacex.com/webcast.php</a> on the launch day (warning: if you go there now there is an autoplaying video).

Here's a video of Falcon 1 going into orbit: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtfE1GHNjg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtfE1GHNjg</a>
