Dragon makes
the world’s first
private delivery in space.

Space X docks

its space craft
with the International Space Station.

Dragon flies

within thirty feet
of the orbiting station.

The robotic arm

grabs the capsule,
and mates it with the station’s dock.

Astronauts upload

a half ton
of food, clothing, and other supplies.

SpaceX becomes

NASA’s first
private space delivery contractor.

Private contractors

will ferry
astronauts to the station within five years.

NASA says

we’re looking at
regular services from SpaceX.

It’s a science-fiction dream come true. And you gotta love the name, “Dragon.
