I'm actually kind of pissed about this because it reminds me of Obama's ideology and plan for America's demise. Everything our gov't SHOULD be doing, they aren't (protecting the borders and space exploration), and everything they SHOULDN'T be doing, they are (authority over Keystone and oil drilling activities, health care, etc.).
Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is by design?

I note the lack of replies on this thread. I guess everyone is too busy pissing on Romney’s Wheaties.
This is epic. The first privately done space flight. It’s not pretty, really a cargo flight but this is huge and it removes the dependency on Russia. You got to love it.

You’re so angry for SpaceX launching the Falcon 9 that you just wanna hire the roadrunner to catch Speedy Gonzalez and send him back to Mexico?
Or that you could slide nekkid into a pile of broken glass?
Or you could eat orangutan toe jam...?
Tear the pouch off of a marsupial?
Drive a combine down the main street of New York City?
Play pin the tail on the donkey...with a real donkey?
French kiss a leper?
Snuggle up with a porcupine?
Wanna pull your eyes out with a rusty spoon and feed ‘em to a truck load of hungry mountain lions?

The first privately done space flightUm, no... SpaceX has done private space flight before. And put a capsule into orbit and returned it safely (with a 50 lb cheese wheel in it, for laughs).
Other companies regularly put payloads in orbit.
It may be the first private docking with the ISS, but it isn't the first private space flight by a long shot.

NASA is an American tradition, so.. Bye bye NASA, compliments of Barack!
To: FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs
is it SpaceX or are they having problems with the Russians
To: Peter from Rutland
I’m excited to see this, too. Private spaceflight is the only way to the stars.
To: Jack Hydrazine
I’m off work that day. Pelican Park in Sat Bch has always been my favorite spot to watch a launch from. Any Freepers want to meet up there?

Yes, NASA is not the way to go. Private biz can do it better and cheaper.
To: Jack Hydrazine; FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs
I know its Friday but still its a little early to be that toasted. The problem with drinking is that it makes you think you’re being smart and clever.
If you have a point, address his. I can’t argue with anything Feds said.

Yes. Your #8 to his #3. Please address point by point where you disagree with Feds or maybe just say “Oops - sorry”. Your call. ;-)

Two tablespoons full of unsymmetrical dimethyl every morning! You must be some kind of space-alien type with a weird metabolism.
That would kill a normal Earth-type homo sapiens stone cold dead.
