Dragon is a go!




Call me geeky, but I find this exciting:

"SPACEX LAUNCH! May 22, 2012 Falcon 9/Dragon launched successfully at 3:44 AM eastern. This marks the third consecutive Falcon 9 launch success and the fifth straight launch success for SpaceX. The Dragon spacecraft separated and the solar arrays have deployed. Watch the press conference at 5:30 AM Eastern atwww.nasa.gov/ntv."

OTOH, commercial space flight, OTOH, dudes in their backyard making a spaceship...

Mostly I'm happy because it makes the space opera I've been writing much more feasible for its time frame...
