SpaceX launch

Here's an interesting video of the pre-launch, launch, and post-launch of the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket this past Saturday -- Elon Musk's company (he founded PayPal, and sold it for $1.5B.) The rocket stages failed to separate and the space craft was lost about 3 minutes after launch. It was carrying the cremated remains of 207 people, including Star Trek's "Scotty" (James Doohan). I guess he above all would realize that there was nothing certain about the launch.
