I really want him to get this thing launched, hopefully they'll figure out how to get these things launched in one try after the first launch -whenever that is.

I sure hope so!
Just read up on Spacex, they also plan to launch from Edwards, so the difficulties of launching on the Kwaj in the middle of nowhere will be mitigated.
Of course if they decide to launch from SLC-6 at Edwards, they will be doomed because of the curse!
Just ask the 14 MOL astronauts, the DynaSoar astronauts, and the Polar Shuttle astronauts.

Update:
The sun is rising on Omelek Island in the Central Pacific where the 70-foot tall Falcon 1 rocket stands on its spartan launch pad. The countdown is running on a breezy morning. Time to launch is now two hours and 15 minutes.

The U.S. military-run Range in Kwajalein reports a good lock on the telemetry from the Falcon 1 rocket. Safety officials will be conducting some inhibited checks of the flight termination system, which would disable the rocket if it experienced a major problem during launch today.
