Astronauts to enter Dragon in orbit soon- the world just changed!

At a significantly lower development cost, and per-launch cost than any government or government-funded program ever managed, Flacon 9's flawless launch today once again proved that under the right conditions, where engineers and entrepreneurs are allowed to focus on what they are best at (thanks to Elon Musk and helpful recent NASA policy on not blocking but enabling private launch development), wonders can happen to an area made inefficient for innovation by government bureaucracy and handicapped by a fickel-minded senate and congress.

Congratulations to all of the Space-X team, look forward to the next stop (ISS), upcoming Dragon COTS launches, and tests of the human-rated Dragon, which, like SpaceX has made no secret about, can land on "any solid surface in the solar system".
