The first launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket could still happen yet this month. The company is looking at May 28 or 29 as possible launch dates. Preparations for the launch have gone smoothly, but the first launch of any new rocket is always a chancey affair.
This Falcon 9 will carry a dummy Dragon capsule. Dragon will be used to deliver cargo to ISS after the shuttles are retired, and the company also foresees Dragon capsules ferrying humans to and from low Earth orbit.
