Dragon V2

Elon Musk introduced the manned version of his Dragon cargo capsule last night.  It will carry up to seven people and will have the ability to land on land, which would make the turnaround for the reusable ship faster and simpler.

It's called the Dragon V2, which has unfortunate historical echoes.  The Nazis terrorized Britain with their V-2 rockets.  Perhaps the name will change.
