SpaceX has pushed back its scheduled first flight of the company's Dragon capsule. Now, instead of November 9, the launch of the Falcon 9 that will carry Dragon into orbit is slated for November 18. Of course, delaying rocket launches is not unusual, and the Falcon 9 is still a new system. It has only one successful flight to its credit.
The upcoming flight is to be a demonstration to NASA that SpaceX can fulfill its contractual obligaton to deliver cargo to ISS using the Falcon 9/Dragon configuration.
