SpaceX Launch Set on This Week @NASA
Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, will launch its Dragon spacecraft on its second Commercial Orbital Transportation Services demonstration flight on Feb. 7, 2012. Pending completion of final safety reviews, testing and verification, SpaceX might also send Dragon to rendezvous with the International Space Station. Also, Future Forum; Kepler Confirmation; Two-Wave Tsunami; Cosmic Purgatory; and more.
Wow! More salary to NASA! =)
@cooptoday Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in action
Have any of you people seen the moon hoax?
Markets are based on need and those space agencies that do not have the ability to put their own astronauts into space also do not have the cash to pay others to do so. NASA's use of SpaceX won't last for long either, their SLS will not be approved by congress. Meanwhile the MPCV will become operational. With no SLS, the MPCV will take Astronauts to the ISS and with few customers SpaceX will go broke; relying on taxpayer dollars to keep it afloat.
I don't see how giving a private company millions of tax dollars to develop a rocket then giving them hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more tax dollars every time NASA uses it is going to save NASA money. There is no market for private manned space flight, if there was NASA be would not be trying to create one. NASA will be SpaceX's only major customer meaning SpaceX will be a taxpayer funded operation which is what NASA is!
Great!! ♥ NASA ♥
Thank you for an interesting movie 🙂
do asian americans work at NASA or spaceX?
@fettkatt87 seen/heard it and dismissed it as crazy-talk.
there's plenty of evidence out there for all the moon landings, even if you don't believe that the LRO-images of the landing sites are genuine (there's many of them by now, taken at different times, angles and altitudes). i'm pretty sure they're legit though ^^
images like this for example (yt-video): /watch?v=ul87ieOZpaQ
I am happy to see that NASA is still making rockets to help the ISS, but when will we see the first concepts of the rockets that will send a manned mission to mars? When will Obama even reopen the manned space program at the least, if we want to get out there and discover things we need it now! So don't go on saying orwell they are using all our tax dollars for nothing, cause they are not this world needs the Space Program! We need to find more life! We need to continue looking for another clos
@RomanSage Check SpaceX's launch manifest, there are real commercial payloads too. Also check their prices and compare them to the space shuttle, altas V, delta, ariane, long march, H2 rockets. Elon Musk is the man.
wait r u saying asians do work at nasa or dont?
I love that Voyager is still transmitting data.
