Congrats SpaceX!

A commercial reusable spacecraft has just returned from a routine (mostly) resupply flight to the space station. Feels like living in the future!

Congrats to SpaceX.
Send up a Dragon with some "Junk in the Trunk", and it returned with a burned backside

Thanks to all for the nice coverage of this mission.

Congratulations SpaceX!
At this rate you'll go second only after Progress on robotic space station resupply services!

Well done Dragon. You sure are no Shuttle, but you're doing a job for us!

Chomp!

Although you're probably right!

Miss Shuttle. Respect Dragon. Hope for SLS. Realisation Elon will probably lead.

Well done to SpX-2 Dragon. Well done to NASA and SpaceX. Thanks for the coverage!

Yes, congratulations to SpaceX for a well-executed mission and return, and to NSF for the coverage and recreational facilities :-)

Good job Dragon. Now let's get 1.1 fired up and kick this commercial **** in gear!

Comga · « **Reply #174 on:** 03/26/2013 04:01 pm »

From me too.
Congrats to SpaceX!
Kudos to NSF for great coverage, too.

Anyone have the splashdown offset distance from the landing target?

Congrats to both SpaceX and NASA on a beautiful team effort! An inspiration for all on how government and private enterprise partnerships can advance human endeavors.

Break out the champagne on N900SX (the OTHER SpaceX Falcon)... you guys did it again. Here's hoping the freezers are OK, the leaks are cured, and the He issue is amenable to ground analysis, never to happen again.

And thanks to Chris, Artyom, et al, for excellent coverage here at NSF. Servers seemed to hold up fine this time.

Now where's my Kool-Aid???
