The Falcon 1 is small potatoes now, but reporting on its development is really what got me hooked on @SpaceX. Loved the tales of a bunch of 20 somethings stuck on Kwajalein Atoll trying to make a rocket fly.
The company ended up being one tiny error on the fourth launch from going out of business, but it somehow launched and survived.
Am still so amused by @elonmusk reading rocket books post PayPal and now getting to this point. Seems just about impossible.
Is a shame there has not been a movie made about these times. Hollywood kinda hates Elon and doesn't want to see it made, but it's the ultimate next chapter to The Right Stuff.
