The proof is in the sky

SpaceX puts up its second successful Falcon I rocket this time with a real payload for the Malaysian government the RazakSAT.

Concedering the common hardware heritage between the F1 and future F1e, F9 and F9H this is a good technology and operations demonstration.  Another article of proof that they’re on thier way to thier described goals of improving access to space with respect to reliability and cost.
