For those who might be interested, here's audio from a talk Elon Musk recently gave at the UK's Royal Aeronautical Society in London.

vfx,

I watched the launch live (on the net). It was pretty chilling. You know I'm not the biggest EM fan, but I do not take any pleasure in this.

I don't know how many more chances he gets before contracts start getting canceled, etc.. This would be bad news for people with Roadsters on order.
