It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3].

As most of you know, I work at a rocket shop. AND WE'RE LAUNCHING A FRICKIN' ROCKET!
Our launch window opens today until the 5th, and we've got guys on island getting set to fire this puppy off. I wish I could have you all here to watch the launch in the factory, but alas, 15,000 gamers would get me fired. The good news is that you can watch on the intarwebz, so here's the link:
