The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soars into space from Space Launch Complex-40, carrying the Dragon capsule to orbit
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, America - 22 May 2012
The launch is the company's second demonstration test flight for NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, Program. During the flight, there will be a series of check-out procedures to test and prove Dragon's systems, including rendezvous and berthing with the International Space Station. If the capsule performs as planned, the cargo and experiments it is carrying will be transferred to the station

Elon Musk's Hyperloop, revolutionizing high speed travel
April 19 2012 - Hawthorne, California, United States: Telsa and SpaceX founder Elon Musk stands in front of the SpaceX Dragon capsule at Space Exploration Technologies Corp. SpaceX launched the spacecraft to the International Space Station in the spring of 2013. On August 12, Musk revealed his next project the "Hyperloop", a transport device that will move passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles by pneumatic tube at 800 MPH, making the trip in 30 minutes.

Dragon fire
Dragon fire.
SpaceXÕs Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon spits fire as it lifts off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, 23 April at 05:49 local time. On board are ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.
The crew of four spent around 23 hours orbiting Earth and catching up with the International Space Station after their launch before docking to the Node-2 Harmony module, marking the start of ESAÕs six-month mission Alpha.
Thomas is the first European to be launched to space on a US spacecraft in over a decade. The new Crew Dragon ships four astronauts at a time, allowing more people to live and work on the International Space Station doing more research for scientists on Earth.
Alpha is ThomasÕ second space mission, and everything is set to be bigger and brighter. A Russian laboratory module, scheduled to arrive in the summer with a European robotic arm, will offer more ways of maintaining the International Space Station and supporting spacewalkers as they work outside. Thomas will help set up this arm and prepare it for use during the Alpha mission.
Over 200 international experiments are planned during ThomasÕ time in space. Of the 40 European ones, 12 are new experiments led by the French space agency CNES.
At the end of the Alpha mission in October, Thomas will take over commander of the International Space Station for a brief period and welcome ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer on his first flight to space.
