Awesome Scenes from a SpaceX spectacular

Today's arrival of a cargo spaceship at the International Space Station wasn't your typical outer-space delivery run: It was an emotional experience for many of the folks who watched NASA's webcast of the SpaceX Dragon's approach.

 

"I'm not going to lie, I'm a little choked up right now," Discovery News' Ian O'Neill wrote in a Twitter update. "But I suppose that happens when you watch history unfold."

Why I Hire People, Not Skills

SpaceX’s Historic Launch Aborted Less Than A Second Prior To Launch

"SpaceX was on the cusp of making history and becoming the first privately owned institution to dock a capsule with the International Space Station."

The launch was automatically aborted less than a second before launch as the chamber pressure on one of the engines was detected abnormally high.

Next attempt planned on May 22nd.


UPDATE: Space X launched Dragon successfully this morning.
