To LEO
I'm really happy to see Space-X is buzzing right along with their commercial space program! The first launch was a test, this one was the real deal with critical supplies.
AFP: SpaceX capsule links up with space station: NASA The Dragon capsule used today for cargo also has configurations for up to seven passengers and crew. Initial plans for re-entry are the classic parachute return, however, Space-X is building a soft-landing model even now. It powers down "on it's tail," just like the ships we read about in Asimov and Heinlein books. Damn I wish I was just starting out my career again!

How long before the first private moon landing?
