The Museum of Flight release Museum Exhibits Historic SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Jan. 17-19The first commercial spacecraft on-view for only 3 days Museum of Flight visitors can experience the past, present and future of space travel during the three- day showing of the pioneering SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, Jan 17-19. The Dragon made history in May 2012 when it became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station and safely return cargo to Earth, a feat previously achieved only by governments. Since then, Dragon spacecraft have routinely made the trip, with final modifications underway on a crewed version. SpaceX states its ultimate goal is to enable people to live on other planets. Dragon is a historic stride in that direction. Viewing Dragon is free with admission to the Museum. |

Odd, there's nothing on their website on this and as a member, I've gotten no emails on this at all... |
