SpaceX is already working with NASA to upgrade its Dragon space capsule so that it can carry astronauts. So far, Dragon has flown only once atop its Falcon 9 launcher, but that flight was highly successful.
SpaceX says Dragon will fly at least 11 more times before carrying passengers. The next flight is scheduled for this summer, and it might take Dragon to ISS. Dragon's first assignment will be flying as an unmanned cargo ship, delivering supplies to ISS.
