They'd REALLY Like To Be Off Omelek By Christmas... Officials at El Segundo, CA-based SpaceX have told Aero-News the company plans to launch its Falcon 1 rocket on Monday, December 19 at 11 am PST (7 p.m. GMT). The two-stage Falcon 1 rocket -- powered by liquid oxygen and purified, rocket grade kerosene -- is expected to accelerate to 17,000 mph (25 times the speed of sound) in less than ten minutes.
