SpaceX,
a commercial spacecraft company, will make history tomorrow if all goes as
planned. It will become the first private company to launch a commercially
designed and built spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station. Dragon
(a wonderful name with an even better logo, we think), should launch
tomorrow, May 19, at 4:55 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission
is primarily a safety test. NASA and SpaceX will both offer live coverage of the
launch.
