History

The commercial space shuttle has docked at the ISS.

In twenty years, will we look back on this as the beginning of a new era? Or will it be a footnote in history?

Regardless, today is one for the history books, and congratulations to the entire team that made Dragon possible!

After the last shuttle flight, I wondered how the U.S. could ever reach the position there was absolutely no way to place a person in space. We put people on the moon, and now we have to bum a ride?

Thank goodness we're back again.
