How beautiful. Space-X has had their first successful launch of their space vehicle, Falcon 1. It’s a lovely thing to see the video embedded in the article. The Chinese government has embarked on their own odyssey in space, following the US and Russia. And while that is great to see, a program I hope will inspire NASA to bigger and better things, and hopefully even cooperation between the nations, this event is special. The US has moved part of the exploration of space into private hands. This is the beginning of an interesting era.
