Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The vehicle’s first stage performed nominally before separating from the second stage.  The second stage successfully delivered the Dragon spacecraft into its intended orbit. This marks the third consecutive successful Falcon 9 launch and the fifth straight launch success for SpaceX. We obviously have to go through a number of steps to berth with the Space Station, but everything is looking really good and I think I would count today as a success no matter what happens with the rest of the mission.” Source: SpaceX founder Elon Musk, following the successful launch of the Falcon 9/Dragon COTS 2-3 demonstration mission.
