SpaceX Trying Again

According to Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, the company will try as early as tomorrow to launch its Falcon 1 rocket.

So far, all three launches of the rocket have failed, but SpaceX is convinced the most recent failure was due to a simple timing problem concerning separation of the stages of the rocket. That problem, the company says, can be easily fixed.

The early launch is dependent upon a successful statuc firing test to have been conducted Saturday. The company's website has not yet reported whether that test was, in fact, successful.
