Dragon on the Doorstep

Rocketeer — Tue, 06/10/2009 - 1:42pm

I'm pleased to see that SpaceX is pitching towards European orbital microgravity researchers by holding its Second DragonLab User Conference in Haarlem, Netherlands.

Will there be any delegates from the UK? I hope so. I expect not.

VIDEO: COTS-D Dragon flight to ISS

Playing catch-up after Easter vacation...

This isn't British, or particularly new, but I thought it was cool. If there's any space event I want to see happen in the next decade, it's this.

The Lunar Dragon idea came up in a comment I made to Jon Goff back in 2006. Nice to see that it's getting some serious thought ;-)
