This is a smart move by NASA. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Cool space news.. with a Louisville connection
Story here. It is a shame that this will be a non-crewed vehicle as a crewed version would be really neat. We are entering the heyday of private spaceflight, and that is a good thing. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)
SpaceX Dragon
Looks like the first full crew launch of the Dragon capsule will be in October due to a lot of other missions to the ISS in September. Three NASA and one JAXA astronaut will be on board. Can’t wait to see it. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Thank God!
SpaceX has done it. The US is now back in the manned spaceflight business. Looks like the first regular flight to the ISS in the Dragon capsule will be in September and will have 3 NASA astronauts and 1 JAXA astronaut. No more paying the Russians $70 million a seat. Next stop, the moon and Mars. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger, who I have not doubt is really, really happy.)

More SpaceX goodness
I noted yesterday that SpaceX had successfully caught both halves of the nose shroud for the first time. Now we have video. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

SpaceX does it again
Two new firsts. Caught both halves of the nose shroud and turned around a booster in 51 days. This Elon Musk guy is on to something. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger who I am sure is loving this.)

A Day in Space
An online event celebrating spaceflight and space exploration. I can guaranty that, were he still with us, Mike Nofsinger would be glued to his computer/TV watching this. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)
