Attention Patrick Peterson: In response to a paragraph in your story: "The California company is the leading contender to provide commercial cargo services for NASA to the International Space Station since the cancellation of the Constellation program."
The Constellation Program has not been officially cancelled yet. Also wasnt SpaceX developing a rocket to go to the ISS even before the "cancellation"?
Good luck SpaceX!
First poster obviously has something invested in the Constellation program.
Good luck to SpaceX!
Space X has had 2 successful launches and 3 failures. How's that for a batting average !
