Just thought you'd all find this interesting if you haven't seen it already. spacex.com/updates.phpFalcon 1 is the first commercial spacecraft to reach orbit!

Believe it or not, this is atually a topic for the general section.
Or it would have been back when the off topic area was first created. Really, this place was just for glove and others to have a place to spam without Nerath needing to regulate it.
Reply: The're still launching primitive capsuls? It's been a wile since they launched the first shuttle, they should really be making a new fleet of those. I know NASA lost there funding, but the people who launched the commercial spacecraft should have been able to afford a shuttle.

I think I should have reworded the first post (I can but this might make more since). Anyway, this was the first privately funded launch to reach orbit. To the best of my knowledge, they have no connection with the US or any other government. (although one of their launches was for NASA) Oh... and when we finaly have a mod show up we can get the topic moved!
