I had the pleasure of watching a two hour presentation on the partnership between NASA and SpaceX earlier Monday evening (the title of the thread). For anyone who is interested ini viewing this program it will air several times on the Discovery channel later today. While it did have a 'promotional' angle or perspective on the enterprise, it was still very informative and quite entertaining. The advancements in technology from the Space Shuttle to the Dragon capsule are quite vivid. (Loved the naming of the test dummy in some of the earlier capsule test phases. Very appropriate.)
I'm posting this also as a reminder that there will be live coverage of the first manned flight to the ISS from the United States since 2011 on Wednesday afternoon. Really looking forward to watching the launch and hoping for the best. If the weather does not cooperate with the scheduled Wednesday launch, the next attempt will take place on Saturday.
The show is worth your time if you have an interest in this sort of thing.
