The dawn of commercial spaceflight is upon us and private companies are 
leading the way!  Space Exploration, Inc. (SpaceX) is one of the premier companies 
in the field of low-cost space access.  NASA just awarded contracts to firms 
to build flight demonstrators to send cargo and people to the International 
Space Station and SpaceX is one of them.  Their “Dragon” capsules promise to 
make access to the station easier while lowering costs compared to the Shuttle. 
Steve Davis, Lead Systems Engineer for the program will describe their 
efforts to build the Dragon capsules and their Falcon 9 boosters.
