Commercially Built SpaceX Falcon 9 Hurtles Toward International Space Station

This is so cool! A private space shuttle is going to the international space station. It was seriously depressing when NASA retired their last space shuttle. I mean, I had barely begun to figure out that space engineering (what I like to call being an engineer who works on things going to outer space) was what I wanted to do with my mechanical engineering degree. So reading an article like this, and learing that other private companies are also working towards space travel, is really comforting.
