WTH? Why is their no thread on this?
 

Considering the nerd level factor 11 an overclocking forum has, why is their no thread regarding the firstnon-governmental docking with the ISS? Launch was successful, all tests completed, just the actual act of docking to be done.http://www.spacex.com/webcast/

Private spaceflight is the way forward. When's the docking due? Probably within the next day or so I'd imagine.

It got local news coverage when the alunch was delayed at the last second, but not the launch itself. However, saw it on the International BBC a few minutes ago http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif
...and it's on again!

I just read comments on youtube,SpaceX is a private company founded by the same guy who founded (or co-founded) PayPal!,and previous credentials of Tesla.Also apparently the spacecraft is laced with company logos such as Nike, McDonalds and Ford,to help fund further space exportations.Cheer'shttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

Why is there no thread on it being my Birthday today!

There was one, but it got deleted as we argued about Scotland being a real country. Happy birthday by the way.

Must have missed their deadline - short feature on the launch and the company on tonight's newshttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif

Cheers matey! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif

Update.

SpaceX is planning to webcast Dragon's historic attempt to visit the space station live tomorrow morning starting at approximately 4:30 AM PT / 7:30 AM ET. Times may change so check back for updates.

You can watch it here

Well it's been captured by the space station, and over Australia as well http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif

They did it! We are part of history.

USTREAM sucks BTW.

Nasa TV is streaming great for me. I'm off to bed now, I will miss them install the capsule but the capture is the symbolic moment.

Well, seems my birthday grreting for you was deleted http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../rolleyes1.gif - the traditional one with references to the Zoo http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif
Even deleted the best wishes bit, so I'll do it here.
Best wishes for your 30th, or whatever it is http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif
