space odyssey 2008

The private space company Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, successfully launched a rocket into orbit on Sunday. This is the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth. Seen here is the Dragon spaceship. I was fortunate enough to see inside the SpaceX factory thanks to a bald and sickly-looking friend. SpaceX assumed it was a "Make-A-Wish-type situation". Seems I'm not the only one to use this excuse.
