First successful commercial launch, and gaining substantial trust by sequential successful launches. Liberating resources to continue with the Falcon-9 program. And I now see that the next Falcon-1 will be a "1e" upgrade with more than twice the LEO load. (Closing a commercial gap created by abstaining from developing Falcon-5, I imagine.)Wonder if they will create their own "Falcon launch" champagne series? [envy] I _so_ want to be on a project big enough to allow for that. [/envy] Good for SpaceX, it must have been a crucial bottleneck?!
