What Dragon Brought Back

Nothing "critical", of course.  Still, significant and of value.  The first commercial mission to the ISS has to be taged as a total success.  Well done Space X!

SpaceX On The Way

SpaceX First Launch to ISS (unmanned) might seem like no big deal, to some. It's something I have been waiting for since I was 15 years old (35-ish years ago) and dreamt up a story called Dusters. It's a first,of many more to come. They are getting to the ISS at a fraction of the cost for NASA to do it. I am not knocking NASA, just stating a fact. And NASA had a lot of oversight/input on this project.


Frankly I think this is fantastic, and America should be proud to have another "first" in space. I can only imagine what we might accomplish if a number of companies from different countries team up and go do something in space that is profitable. It will happen some day, hopefully soon.

SpaceX Falcon 9 With Dragon Capsule

Assembled and ready to go, at Cape Canaveral. Launch should be in April..for an approach (maybe docking) with the ISS.

Space X Update

Just tweeted that they should be able to get the mission off to the ISS in April! Ok, about 6 months later than they wanted (damn NASA testing)...but you want it to be safe.

It will open up a new era of private corporations and space flight. Is Virgin jealous?

Space X Ready For People..

I notice at the Space X website, we can get a Falcon 1 for $10M and put up 1010KG. We could get Palin, Beck, Hannity, Gingrinch, Rush, Bachmann, McCain and Bo[eh]ner in there and have room for 2 more to pick at random. We just fire them off and forget to mention it's a one way trip.
