I hope they can get everything fixed by Friday. Boeing needs a win under its belt to restore confidence in the company.

Wish nothing but success for the mission and the advancement of spacecrafts. Space X really do make it look easy!

Better safe than sorry. Remember how the Challenger blew up on that cold January morning. I saw live on TV that day and it was a horrible sight, something I'll never forget.

It's not by any means, but the more you do it the better it gets.

Yrrai why be so negative your comments never seems to amaze people. Your comments are always so dark and to say the space ship is a "Giant Firecracker" is in comparison to your mental capacity. Your logic is just that Goggle Brain". I know I will get censored but if you are going to comment please do so constructively and not so negatively!

'Giant Firecracker' indeed. Manned or unmanned mission, that's a geeky childish thing to say. Not funny at all.

It's never easy, never been easy. But we keep learning, step by step. Space travel is an explorative science, the Final Frontier and there's ALOT of things to learn from it.

Tell that to the aerodynamic architects who designed it. They have their degrees and they know better about these things than we do.
