A lot depends on our first launch, ... Even though I really want to launch as soon as possible, I don't want to take any chances. I'd rather be late than sorry.

I know for a fact that there are more than a half-a-dozen customers...not that they will sign up but they'll strongly consider signing up and probably will sign up at some point, even if it's not immediately.

Target launch date for Falcon I maiden flight is Halloween (October 31) from our island launch complex in the Kwajalein Atoll. For potential customers out there, I should mention that Kwajalein has some of the worlds best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropical paradise.

It is despairing to consider that the cost and reliability of access to space have barely changed since the Apollo era over three decades ago. Yet in virtually every other field of technology, we have made great strides in reducing cost and increasing capability,

the history of rocket development is replete with failures and very few successes.

Some rockets turn faster than others, depending upon the trajectory. In this case it is going to go almost straight up until it is out of sight.

We have a lot of ways of finding the stage, and we really want to bring it back no matter what shape it's in.

It's been 3 1/2 years, almost, of very difficult development and we're finally at the stage where we are able to launch and we feel we've done everything we possibly can to ensure that it's a reliable launch.

The history of rocket development is one which is replete with failure and where there are very few successes. We hope to be one of those successes, but something that I want to make sure everyone's aware of is that no matter what happens on launch day I feel that we have really been quite successful already.

Our earned revenue will be $35 million after a little more than two years of operation. By comparison, the X-Prize was a one-off of $10 million, and it took Burt something like five years to do it.

To the best of my knowledge, every booster engine qualification program in history has had numerous failures of the kind that recently occurred with Merlin, so this is not unusual.

There is not a great amount of further development to be done [for the heavy versions]. We won't spend that money until we have a customer. Then we will do aerodynamic analysis, separation systems, a few things like that.

Launch is scrubbed until early next year,as there is a structural issue with the 1st stage fuel tank that will require repair. I will provide further comment as soon as this has been carefully analyzed.

Consistent with our policy, we must be 100 percent green for launch with no outstanding concerns whatsoever. It is not just a matter of repairing the damage, but also understanding at a fundamental level how to ensure it never happens again.

We will also do another full review of all the vehicle systems, including propulsion, structures, avionics, software and ground support systems. Therefore, I expect that the earliest that launch would occur is late January. Third time's the charm.
