docking with the ISS. First commercial vehicle to do it.

I can't stand to watch the next big step in privatizing NASA.

We may as well watch history being made than regretting it didn't happen the way we expected.

ULA, Boeing, ATK, Orbital, Northrup, MOOG, PWR etc... all these private companies are the space industry. Many of them were heavily involved in making the space shuttle. Space has always been a mixture of private, non-profit, USAF and NASA. I know SpaceX claims to be all different and historic, but really it is just another in a long line of private Space companies. My only fear is NASA oversells SpaceX and we reduce our launch fleet. When it comes to space the Space Shuttle showed don't put all your eggs in one basket. Most of the counties involved in space do not. We should not either. The private space industry can not survive without government funding, but it should not be feared. It is how space has always operated. Although it must also have strong oversight, regulations and competition.

NASA has never built spaceships. They've always used private contractors. When I wrote code for NASA I was employed by an IT consulting firm that contracted me to GE who had the NASA contract for the hardware that code ran on.

I've been puzzled by all the hype about "the first private space flight".

It brings back childhood memories.

What a thing to see....
