Go SpaceX! The future of space exploration is private sector.With the successful return of the Dragon crew capsule, things should accelerate from here. Sry: no way to link the videos...go to https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-dragon-returns-to-earth.html

Up next for SpaceX is a test of Crew Dragon's emergency-escape system, which is designed to get the capsule to safety if a serious problem were to occur during launch. This uncrewed flight, which is currently targeted for June, will employ the same capsule that just came back to Earth.

After that — possibly as early as July — will come Demo-2, Crew Dragon's astronaut-carrying debut. This landmark test flight will tote NASA's Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to and from the ISS. Operational, contracted missions, each of which will ferry four astronauts, will commence sometime thereafter.

I liked the subtle shade that Roscosmos threw at them now that Russia realizes they can't strong arm the US into paying hyperinflated prices for hitching a ride on an ancient Soyuz booster. Really cool to see space travel and exploration moving forwards and progressing again.

I had an eye exam today and they dilated my eyes...I thought the title was "Spouse Exploration Milestone." Sorry but my eyes are still screwed up. Why anyone would want spouse exploration is beyond me anyway.
