<p>Bummer.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that's the space biz.&nbsp; I'd suggest there will be a few more of these for SpaceX while they continue to shake out the kinks.&nbsp; The USAF and NASA folks had better get down the back of the warehouse and see what else they can dust off as payloads for next time.&nbsp; Or, will the love start to wane.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>SK&nbsp; <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/14/9/bee1a20c-7b41-4217-a953-cd9e9fb2216d.Medium.gif" alt="" /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>
