Space X

Anyone else following this? Really cool private space flight company currently launching to the ISS. I grew up in the space age of the 70's and wanted to be a aeronautical engineer. Still amazed and watch as many spacecraft launches as possible.

I think it's neat that private companies are getting into this. I'm glad of their success and hope the entire mission goes without a hitch.
Beginning of a new era.
What always amazed me are the people who have the balls to go up there in manned flights.

There are several astronauts who work at space x. It is most likely going to be the general publics first access to riding off the planet.
