SpaceX will be allowed to operate at Cape Canaveral. This will move the launch of SpaceX's Falcon rockets from the Marshall Islands to Florida. SpaceX has been largely funded by DARPA to date. Experts claim that SpaceX will now be in direct competition with Orbital Science, who run the Minotaur rocket. The US Air Force green lighted the 5 year license agreement. It pays to do good work with DARPA, I suppose.

The article does not state if the move to cape Canaveral affected this competition. The article also does not mention how Cape Canaveral will affect the costs of running the Falcon rockets.

The Falcon 1 rocket, from SpaceX was successfully launched from Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific. However, the craft was not able to reach it's intended orbit before telemetry was lost and the nose cone was jettisoned. This is the second test launch for the DARPA financed Falcon 1, and the second time the craft has failed to meet expectations. Despite this, Elon Musk - co-founder of PayPal and CEO of SpaceX, believes that the launch was a success. At least all of the hardware wasn't lost in a launch pad fireball, I suppose.
