no Falcon launch yet

no Falcon launch yet

SpaceX was forced by the Army Space and Missile Defence Command to delay the maiden launch of the Falcon rocket until tomorrow at 1PM Pacific time.

I seem to recall another scrubbed SpaceX launch due to military concerns as well. The conclusion? SpaceX cannot rely on the military launchpads. No company can operate if it must do so at the whim of the military. They are going to have to have their own launchpad if they want to have a viable space launch business.
