SpaceX Success

Saturday, 2 June, 2012

So on the face of it a perfect mission - launch, manoeuvres, docking, unloading, loading and return. I guess once the Dragon gets back to SpaceX and is unloaded they get a better picture. For something so complex, it will never be perfect and the vast amount of data recoded during the mission will be invaluable in nailing the many problems that must have been uncovered. That doesn’t detract from the remarkable achievement - and the almost inevitable $1.6B contract. No pressure then!
