A new adventurous attempt could take place on Friday, as Space Pioneer Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. sets to conduct first test flight of Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla.

The opening launches of the newly designed rockets have always been considered to be risky, with an average of at least one failure, among the initial first attempts. Although SpaceX is working to lower the expectation of delay in the launch of Falcon 9, yet the weather problems and technical difficulties cannot be ruled out.

The Rocket is as tall as 18 stories building, and its base consists of nine liquid-fueled motors around it. The 38 years old former Internet Entrepreneur, Mr. Elon is the principal designer of Falcon 9, which has become the first symbol of private space technology. Earlier, Falcon 1 of Space X, which was a simpler and less powerful, had to face three failed launches before its first triumph. Friday’s flight will be of 10 minutes duration. Musk expects to have
70-80% chances of success.

The rocket is capable of taking astronauts in the space and tons of cargo too. The investment has been of $100 million so far.

Musk explains that his reason of starting SpaceX is to have the motive of opening a new path for coming generations to new planets.

It is well known that Obama has been favoring the commercial space campaign and convincing Congress to spend hefty amounts to help out Space X. Friday’s flight will be of 10 minutes duration. Musk expects to have 70-80% chances of success.
