	According to Spaceflight Now, the second SpaceX Falcon 1 was
launched today, started to wobble, ceased to provide telemetry about
halfway through second stage firing, failed to reach orbit, and was
declared a success.

	Based on the record of two rockets launched and two payloads
lost, Elon Musk, SpaceX founder, feels confident enough in the project
to begin operational launches without further test flights.
