Only a first step.

SpaceX Dragon flies by space station - Computerworld



Wheeeooooo!  This private effort is nearing a successful completion of its mission to show that private enterprise and robotics can achieve the mundane task of delivering supplies to the space station.  NASA is already working on a next generation craft to do extra-orbital missions.  It is a long awaited achievement and it is good to see someone else besides the giant aerospace conglomerates get a piece of the pie.  This should begin to put to rest the criticism of the administration's choice to remove the shuttles from service.
