Another Attempt

Tripoli is going to launch another rocket, supposedly in five minutes, at 10:30. Also, the Rocket Racing League and XCOR are going to unveil the first rocket racer about 10:45.

[Update]

Half an hour late. The first attempt fizzled, but they started the count again about a minute later, and then had a spectacular launch. It went straight up, out of sight, and came back down with a strobe and a streamer. The chutes opened a couple hundred feet off the ground. Looked nominal to me. Also, the crane picked up Armadillo's vehicles and started hauling them over to the launch pad for their Lunar Landing Prize attempt.
