SpaceX Vows to Turn Our Dreams of Passenger Space-Flight into Reality

Best Chris Tucker performance ever...

A big little company called SpaceX (yes, that is their real name) has decided to privatize the space-race, and get this, the White House couldn’t be happier. They’ve already got a deal to use their crazy-ass rocket, the Falcon 9, and something called a Dragon capsule to transport supplies to the International Space Station…talk about some crazy futuristic stuff.  Oh yeah, and did I mention that this whole company is the brainchild of the same guy who made his billions with PayPal?  That’s right, the PayPal guy is now in the rocket business, and he’s gearing up to head a space-convoy; well, I believe the official terminology is “space taxi,” which brings to mind The Fifth Element or Total Recall or innumerable Philip K. Dick novels.  Next thing you know, we’ll be colonizing Mars.  If you wanna learn more, check it out at NPR.org.
