    U.S. / SpaceX to Launch Astronauts!

    It's about time!

    The last space shuttle launched in 2011 and NASA hasn't sent astronauts to space from US soil since then. That long dry patch is set to end on May 27 when the SpaceX Crew Dragon is scheduled to head to the International Space Station with two crew members on board.

    Excellent. I think it clearly demonstrates private providers can effectively replace complex products/procedures normally performed by a government. And, what I'm most proud of is that this is occurring in the United States of America.

    Space-X builds and tests at least some of their boosters at their plant outside my old stomping grounds in Waco, Tex.
