RemoW Posted May 19, 2012 Report 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

RemoW Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 Well we don't depend on the Russians any more Sho we did it the Dragon 9 rockets on its way to the ISS. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47514404/ns/technology_and_science-space/
ShoHashi Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 Dragon is now berthed at the ISS! I had nothing better to do this morning, so I watched it live on NASA TV. -Sho
ShoHashi Posted June 1, 2012 Report 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
