I said last time that it looked like the Falcon 1 launch failure was due to the second stage firing before the first stage had separated. Good first guess, but not quite. The first stage separated when it should have, but had a bit of "residual thrust" which had pretty much the same effect.
And the Elon Musk quote is the perfect response to the whole "space is too hard for stupid private industry only really smart government bureaucrats can do it" crowd.
