Dragon On Track

SpaceX's Dragon capsule took another step towards carrying astronauts last week when the program passed a major design review by NASA engineers and private industry experts.

SpaceX now has the green light to build a man-rated spaceflight system made up of the upgraded Dragon capsule and the company's Falcon 9 launcher.  The first manned flight of Dragon could come as early as 2017.
