Dragon Delayed Again

SpaceX has again delayed the first launch of its Dragon cargo ship to ISS.  The launch is now scheduled for May 19, with a backup date of May 22.  The company wants more time to check out its Falcon 9 rocket.

This will be the first flight by a private company's vehicle to ISS, and both SpaceX and NASA want to do everything possible to make it a success.  If they succeed, the flight will open a new era of the Space Age.
