A "coming soon" page is at the top of HN?

It should have been already published (at 1:30 pacific time.) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/366964441159438337

SpaceX has a history of failed launches before settling into a routine of spectacular success.

Hopefully their inability to publish this page on time will prove to be another example of the same. ;-)

It's very interesting that this is a SpaceX project. Why not Tesla, or another company entirely?

Probably because SpaceX has more autonomy since it doesn't need to meet the expectations of shareholders -- the same reason Musk isn't planning on an IPO with SpaceX for a really really long time.

He has said that he will not do it himself, just publish the idea and let someone else do it.
