Oh, and are we going to hear about any special secret payload, like Wheel of Cheese? Is there something like that this time?

Faces today Update…SpaceX NASA Capitol Hill Roscosmos Me Agreed. Mike griffin among others, who is by the romney's space policy advisor, has been quoted as saying"well it should fly at least 6 to 7 times more before we let crew on it" ,delaying, retoric, ect. the usual.Anyway does not give me alot of hope for commercial when a presidential candidate that has a fairly good chance of winning has mike griffin advising him on space policy, and griffin once again proves how much of an inaccurate he is.This mission is ground breaking, and it has really opened a new era, now sit back and watch as the usual suspects on the hill try and sabotage it.

Well remember, COTS was really Mike Griffin's baby in the first place...
I'm not aware that Griffin has said a word about the flight.
I'm sure they'll be renting their own spotter planes, etc eventually.
