Fly, Falcon, fly!

Here’s looking for a successful launch of the rocket today.

SpaceX’s page on the vehicle and launch feed (currently a time lapse of the site but will switch to feed @ 10:40am eastern).

Hopefully all will go well.

The engines shut down on launch. So they didn’t fire and it didn’t go anywhere.

Too soon to hear of the next attempt, I presume.

Trying again at 2:45.

Successful Liftoff/Separation. Being shown on CNN/Fox. Go, baby, go!

Oops, I was thinking of the wrong Falcon.

But go, SpaceX! Awesome news.

Yay! claps

Great news!

But now I have the OP’s title stuck in my head to the tune of the Silver Convention’s Fly Robin Fly. Good thing I have disco music at home.

I used to work at that pad (among others)…I’m glad they found a use for it post-Titan.

An exciting day, for a lot of reasons.
