A Pictorial Review of SpaceX’s Eight Dragon Spaceships
Very cool...

Last week, SpaceX gave us a look at the upcoming mission to the International Space Station — the first of its kind for a privately operated company. The company is aiming to make history with its Dragon spacecraft, due to lift off for the ISS this November.

Just a few days afterward, the SpaceX twitter did a rundown of the eight Dragon capsules in existence. It’s a fascinating look at how far the company has come, and a glimpse at SpaceX’s near-term plans. Read on below for the past and future history of what is looking like the next step for human spaceflight.

1. I think it is exciting that this company will send one of their craft to dock with the IST.
And soon will be carrying passengers to it.

Very cool. Recc'd.
