Private Sector to lead low orbit space travel - SpaceX Makes History With Falcon 9 Launch

While spacecraft is carrying nothing of great value, the launch has technical and symbolic importance because it would mark an important step in NASA's efforts to turn over basic transportation to low-Earth orbit to the private sector.

SpaceX made history as its Falcon 9 rocket rose from its seaside launch pad and pierced the pre-dawn sky, aiming for a rendezvous later this week with the space station. Soon after the launch, John Holdren, President Barack Obama's chief science adviser, said, "This expanded role for the private sector will free up more of NASA's resources to do what NASA does best - tackle the most demanding technological challenges in space, including those of human space flight beyond low Earth orbit." Now the real test will be Thursday when it docks at the ISS. The article notes the ISS astronauts are especially enthusiastic about its arrival.
