Title: First commercial company to dock with space station Post by: BanditVol on May 26, 2012, 08:16:04 EDT http://www.onorbit.com/node/4664 There were some close calls with the range sensors on the way in...they nearly aborted, but it got done. This was a cargo only flight, but this spacecraft is one of many competitors to replace the Shuttle. That might actually happen in a couple of years. I hope so (from whoever gets there first). Commercial or government, we need AMERICAN human access to space.
