SpaceX to Deliver Goods to ISS

The company SpaceX has announced that it will be sending its Falcon rocket with its Dragon capsule to the International Space Station. The launch date is set to May 19th and will be the very first commercial delivery to the station. Since NASA has been paying the Russian government to send supplies and men into space ever since the American manned space program was scrapped. They hope to see American companies offer cheaper rides to space than Russia in the near future. So far, that looks possible, especially since the Dragon capsule is reusable and recoverable. The Falcon is also planned to become reusable later on in development.
