SpaceX to Space: It's on.

7/13/2009: SpaceX just delivered it's first commercial payload, a Malaysian ATSB Satellite, into orbit.

We are now officially in the business.



And now with more video:

From our customer website:

Did I mention that while the Shuttle was delayed by weather conditions (as well they should when carrying people), SpaceX launched Falcon 1 literally through a gap between storm clouds over Kwajalein?
