SpaceX Static Fire of Upgraded Falcon 9
SpaceX Upgraded Falcon 9 First-Stage Static Fire, SpaceRef Business
“SpaceX has released the following video of the first static fire test of the upgraded Falcon 9’s first stage with densified propellant which occurred on September 21.”
“The rumours of my demise were greatly exaggerated.” A quote that fits with this story, I think.
Next launch is penciled in for a bit after mid-November.
It appears to a seriously gutsy launch with their most important non-government client, a super-heavy payload, the first launch of the enhanced F9, and a barge landing!
I never play anything higher than quarter slots. This flight is maxing the high-rollers table.
It is very exciting to see a team willing to put it on the line!
Enough with the chickens!

What are they scared of??
They want launch tech to stand still for another fifty years?
or are they scared SpaceX is going to crush their buddies?
