They said it couldn’t be done, they said we needed the state in order to achieve space flight, they were wrong:
Dragon has been built by the California firm SpaceX and is carrying half a tonne of food and other stores for the ISS astronauts.
It is the first time a private sector company has attempted to deliver freight to the station.
The high-flying laboratory’s Canadarm2 is being controlled by US spaceman Don Petit.
He grabbed the capsule at 13:56 GMT (14:56 BST). “Houston, looks like we got us a Dragon by the tail,” he radioed to Nasa mission Control in Texas.
To all of you who claimed this couldn’t be done please feel free to shut your mouth next time you get the idea that the state is the only entity that can accomplish something. Heck, if it wasn’t for the state we may have been on Mars already.
