You too can be a rocket scientist - SpaceX launches Falcon 1

Want the ultimate work at home job? How about working on private space flight? The Falcon 1 launched yesterday (Wednesday) and attained a near low Earth orbit altitude of around 200 miles before it succumbed to oscillations that apparently caused the shut down of its engine at just shy of its planned 205 to 425 mile altitude.

Launched by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) the rocket was by all accounts a success despite the fact that it failed to attain the desires altitude and SpaceX has a good outlook for the successful launch of two satellites later this year.

Missed out on the ground floor of the computer business when they were being built in garages?
Here is the chance to get even and start working on rockets that can launch payloads into low Earth orbit. Just remember - you need permits for purchase of rocket fuel and special clearance to launch something that goes above a certain altitude (I'm not sure what altitude that is, and will leave it to anyone with an interest in rocket science to research).
