SpaceX Announces Launch Date for the Falcon 1: The World’s Lowest Cost Rocket to Orbit
“On Friday, November 25 at 1 p.m. (PDT), the Falcon 1 countdown to launch is expected to reach T-Zero. At that point, the hold-down clamps will release and the Falcon 1 rocket will begin its journey to orbit, accelerating to 17,000 mph (twenty-five times the speed of sound) in less than ten minutes.”
“SpaceX Founder and CEO Elon Musk will announce the T-Zero liftoff time of the historic maiden flight of Falcon 1 at a pre-launch press conference tomorrow afternoon. Please note this will be the last time Mr. Musk will be available to the media before launch due to his travel to Kwajalein for the launch.”
