SpaceX Dragon May Ferry Astronauts by 2015

SpaceX’s Dragon capsule has travelled safely to the International Space Station and back. The next step, says Space.com writer Clara Moskowitz, is to outfit the capsule for crew, which SpaceX hopes to complete by 2015. Until then US astronauts will hitch rides on Russia’s Soyuz, at about $60 million a pop.
