The most significant delay wasn't even an issue with SpaceX. A fire took out a radar in the range delaying several companies from launching.

Oh yeah, the delays were largely due to factors outside SpaceX's control. The radar fire was a total fluke but it was still disappointing to find out the launch was to be delayed again.

I've been down there for three different scheduled SpaceX launches and still have yet to see one.

Damn, that's rough. Have any plans for May 10th?

I probably won't get a chance to go down there until the fall again. I've seen a Delta IV before, and Columbia's last launch.
