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.

I looks like Elon will be making some good coin from NASA contracts. SpaceX just got a piece of a the $3.5 billion resupply contract for the space station.
Elon's pockets just got a lot deeper. I have MUCH more confidence that Tesla will be a long term survivor now.

NASA yesterday gave two companies the job of resupplying the International Space Station after the space shuttle retires, picking Orbital Sciences of Dulles and SpaceX of Hawthorne, Calif., for a $3.5 billion contract.
As part of the deal, SpaceX and Orbital will build unmanned cargo vehicles that can carry a minimum of 20 metric tons. Eight flights, costing about $1.9 billion, will be handled by Orbital and 12 flights that will cost about $1.6 billion will be done by SpaceX, NASA officials said.

This is a ground-breaking contract."It is partially a surprise that Lockheed lost," he said. "NASA is sort of spreading the wealth here.
