SpaceX One Step Closer To Launching Astronaut

BarbaraHudson writes SpaceX has passed NASA's "certification baseline review," which required the company to outline exactly how it plans to ferry crews to and from the International Space Station using the Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket under SpaceX's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract with NASA. The contract will include at least one test flight with an astronaut in the spacecraft.

    I didnt expect this news for at least another year. Ever since the shuttles have retired i have been patiently waiting the day we get a new craft back up and running.

    Musk and everyone at space x should be executed for the murder they are going to commit.

    By that thinking, everyone at NASA should have been executed after the capsule fire that killed astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee.

    That's was as an accident by a government agency. Space x is going to commit murder for profit. If you're too stupid to understand the difference you should be executed along side them.

    So nominate me to make the flight. If it blows up, you get what you want. If it doesn't, I get what I want. Either way, we ultimately advance our knowledge and capabilities.

    "Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
