I still need to post a proper write-up from BIMS (real busy couple of weeks), because I think it was a breakthrough moment for EVs here. Hopefully I'll get some time tomorrow for that.   09-27-2008, 08:26 AM   #22 doug Head Moderator     Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stanford, California Posts: 3,606 SpaceX tries for fourth time to put privately developed rocket into orbit - San Jose Mercury News Quote: The launch window Sunday could be anytime between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. PDT. If the weather or another problem prevents an attempt Sunday, SpaceX could try again Monday or Tuesday. Another launch window would open in late October if technical issues prevent an attempt this week. Sunday's flight is not carrying a payload for anyone else, in part because SpaceX wanted for a quick turnaround after the August failure.

I hope this is a sign that Tesla will be a raging success.
