Dragon Docks

Despite a problem with one rocket engine during ascent, SpaceX's Falcon 9 launcher successfully put the company's Dragon spacecraft into orbit Friday, and the cargo ship has now successfully docked with ISS for the third time without a failure-- an impressive record for a new company.

Dragon is delivering 1200 pounds of supplies to ISS this time, but in perhaps two or three years it could be delivering astronauts.
