SpaceX launches first crew with previously flown equipment

Four astronauts are cruising to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX capsule in the company’s first crewed trip with previously flown equipment.

The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the orbiting lab early Saturday, slightly more than 23 hours after blasting off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:49 a.m. U.S. East Coast time.

The capsule was performing as expected in orbit Friday about 125 miles (201 kilometers) above Earth.

It is the return that I am worried about.

Let's hope they have some of this on board

No they need "bloudraad and a tang".

Jeff Bezos: "Hey NASA! I've found a company in Asia that can build me rockets really, really cheap! Can we now sign a contact for me to haul stuff for you into space in 20 years time?"
