Falcon 1‘s second test flight took off yesterday. There was a problem in the second stage, but it was an error that they claim couldn’t be seen unless they actually launched. That’s why they call it a test flight, after all.

 Hobbyspace has a partial transcript of SpaceX’s media call, including a few words from Musk himself.

It is a decent success, but I wonder how far they really off from their goal of reliably launching Falcon 1 at $7 million a pop.  It will be interesting to learn how the lessons learned hear apply to their bigger rocket Falcon 9.
