ready for CRS-2

Ready for the launch of the SpaceX craft. The weather looks good. Looking forward to a fast rendezvous to the International Space Station.


This will be the second operational flight, the second commercial resupply mission, for the Falcon 9 booster with its Merlin engines and the Dragon capsule.

I was pleased to see an article, just today, on the analyses of the previous flight, which took place back in October. The flight was less than perfect. While not all of the information has been released, it is good to see that they know what happened, have taken measures, and that everyone is confident. NASA is confident.

Godspeed CRS-2.
