Title: Space X Launch to ISS This November - Let's Get Positive
Post by: Vartok on July 28, 2011, 05:05:54 PM
OK, the shuttle is history.  Alas.  But there is hope, Space X will be hopefully docking with the ISS this November.  Space Exploration Technologies, a privately owned firm developing a space taxi with U.S.-government backing, plans to launch its second test capsule on Nov. 30 and send it all the way to the International Space Station, a company manager said on Thursday.  Photo shows it docking, article was less forward.  Read about it here.
