Falcon I Engine Test Success! Now See the Movie...

SpaceX conducted a successful 5-second test firing of its Falcon I engine on Friday. If all continues to go well for Elon Musk and his crew, they expect a full launch with a Department of Defense payload in late July or early August, and a slate of subsequent launches to follow. Keep in mind, Musk is the only person right now concentrating on (and showing some of success with) reducing launch costs.
While we're waiting for Musk to revolutionize the Space industry, why not watch this cool video of Friday's successful test firing.
And three cheers for Musk-- Congratulations!
