RemoW Report post Posted May 19, 2012 Looks like they had an engine failure due to high pressure in one of the nine main engines on the Dragon 9 rocket and had to abort. Pretty cool to see that we're really close to commercial flights into space won't be long now until the average Joe can purchase a ticket into orbit. I'm sure we'll see this in our life time. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47486307 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoHashi Report post Posted June 1, 2012 This was great! I'm looking forward to SpaceX sending astronauts up in the Dragon in a few years. From what I read, it'll easily carry 7 at a time. -Sho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
