"SUCCESS - 2 second burn!" That was SpaceX's initial assessment after today's successful static fire test of the Falcon 9's nine Merlin first stage engines at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida...which paves the way for next Monday's launch of the Dragon C2+ spacecraft to the International Space Station. Godspeed on May 7, Falcon and Dragon!
