1billsnut Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Very cool stuff. My brother-in-law is one of the VP's of the company. Their first trip to the space station was a huge success. I'm excited to see the lauch tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It did a very nice job of blowing up, then recovering to orbit. Very nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Is the privatization of the space industry as exciting to anyone else as it is to me? I love me some NASA but opening up the playing field is going to yield some amazing benefits a few generations down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is some oversight so we don't end up with a bunch of low cost companies operating on a shoestring like the airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
