Countdowns and Testing - Commercial Space steps up a gear

[Chris Bergin]

Couldn't sleep, so wrote a feature-ish style round up article on SpaceX, SNC and Orbital.

I got a bit mouthy at the start over Shuttle, but it's a fair representation based on the large amount of Shuttle people I've become friends with over the years.

But you'll see I've been more than fair about Commercial Space, and rightly so.

Some tidbits from L2 in the article. Some a bit obscure as we're keeping said info in L2 on request.

Anyhoo....

Great article Chris.

Am wondering if the upcoming F9 WDR is part of the L2 "tidbits"? Would be awesome if they could pull that off over the next week. And surely there must be a WDR happening soon over at Wallops for the Antares/Cygnus launch?
