SpaceX Falcon 4 static fire goes well, nothing exploded

In a refreshing change of pace, the Falcon 4 static fire went well with no large booms or expanding mushroom clouds.  They did decide to replace a component on the maxim of better safe than sorry.  A 2nd stage engine LOX supply line is being  changed out, which will move the for real firing to somewhere between September 28th and October 1.

Let’s hope for no explosions there either!  Way to go SpaceX!
