WTH? Why is their no thread on this? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Considering the nerd level factor 11 an overclocking forum has, why is their no thread regarding the firstnon-governmental docking with the ISS? Launch was successful, all tests completed, just the actual act of docking to be done.http://www.spacex.com/webcast/

Private spaceflight is the way forward. When's the docking due? Probably within the next day or so I'd imagine.

**palantownia** · 05-23-2012, 12:37 AM

It got local news coverage when the alunch was delayed at the last second, but not the launch itself. However, saw it on the International BBC a few minutes ago

...and it's on again!

I just read comments on youtube,SpaceX is a private company founded by the same guy who founded (or co-founded) PayPal!,and previous credentials of Tesla.Also apparently the spacecraft is laced with company logos such as Nike, McDonalds and Ford,to help fund further space exportations.Cheer's

There was one, but it got deleted as we argued about Scotland being a real country. Happy birthday by the way.

Must have missed their deadline - short feature on the launch and the company on tonight's news

Well it's been captured by the space station, and over Australia as well

**Shipsyspeepay** · 05-25-2012, 10:00 PM

They did it! We are part of history.

USTREAM sucks BTW.

**chuecafressds** · 05-25-2012, 10:05 PM

Nasa TV is streaming great for me. I'm off to bed now, I will miss them install the capsule but the capture is the symbolic moment.
