On hold now for almost two hours.  Problem with self destruct system telemetry. Installed longer antenna to boost gain.   Won't launch without ability to destroy rocket without ability to destroy it should it veer off course.  Takes a while to re-test.  Expecting to start 15 min. countdown launch 1PM EDT, 10AM PDT.

Aborted 4 seconds before liftoff.  Reasons? As of this writing they have about 60 minutes left in their launch window and then they will have to wait until * AM PDT tomorrow to try again.

Captain, I can't defy the laws of physics!

Launch went well. Fast, 8 minutes to orbit.  I was impressed by both the eveness of the first stage exhaust plume and the complete lack of vibration throughout the first stage climb (7 min.)  from the onboard camera.   Dragon mock capsule in orbit. Further details and video will be posted when available.

I should have said 3 min. for 1st stage burn, not 7 min.  And I should note the second stage in orbit did at least one complete roll (without losing video!)... this may indicate a problem, but SpaceX cut its feed right after congratulating themselves.  So we shall see.  But to successfully put a ten engine, two stage rocket in orbit on the maiden flight is really impressive.  Obama's happy he won't have to beg the Russians for as many ISS resupply flights.

its kinda funny using names from mythology or is this another thing for the new world pukover 

and for control of the world get real this flight is as phony as going to the moon video a major prank for the facst morons in charge waste of money lets goto the center of the earth were the real e t s are at right now
