It's pretty likely that they just try to get to a certain altitude before crossing international lines so that they will not be detected by anyones radars and will be mostly unreachable by radio.

Once they're in space, it doesn't matter at all. Unless they run into someone elses rocket, that is.(Hopefully China won't be there in 2010, or whenever it is those things are launching).

I've got to be totally honest with you, by the way. Everytime I look at your picture I see this guy.

Don't take that the wrong way, I'm sure you look nothing alike. But something about your picture reminds me of him.

Since SpaceX launches from an Air Force controlled launch area, they have to follow some pretty strict rules that the Air Force has regarding safety including the ability to blow up the rocket remotely if it is going out of control.

Check out forum.nasaspaceflight.com and the section on commercial space flight.
