Probably just me and ODD and Cannan are old enough to remember the Apollo Space Missions and how cool it felt to be a American back in those days. Since the Shuttle stopped flying, and started doing Toyota commercials. We have been paying the Russians to take our people and their gear up to the International Space Station (BTW the price for a ride on the Russian shuttle doubled the day the last U.S. Space Shuttle was decommissioned) Well we are back in the game. Space X one of Elon Musk's company's (another is Tesla Motors) just today successfully launched a reusable booster and payload capsule to the I.S.S. for resupply. Additionally, NASA just granted Space X use one of the old Apollo launch pads at the Kennedy Space Center for future missions. Can you say swagger?

Pretty cool drone video of one of the test launches.
