fly, Falcon, fly

fly, Falcon, fly

At T minus 18 minutes, everything is go for the SpaceX Falcon launch. Out of the Cradle is liveblogging the event.

Update: According to Kimbal Musk (Elon's brother), the mission has been aborted. I assume that this is due to the high winds that forced a hold in the countdown at T minus 14 minutes, but I'll find out for sure shortly.

Update 2: Out of the Cradle reports that the scrub was due to a fuel tank leak. The next available launch date will be no earlier than January 2nd or 3rd of 2006.
