Space X ready to launch flight to ISS on Saturday
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/05/14/space-x-set-to-launch-on-saturday-may-19/
On May 19, if all goes well, +SpaceX will launch a Falcon 9 rocket with a Dragon capsule atop it to the international Space Station. This is the first time an entirely commercial company will fly to ISS, and - without exaggeration - this may usher in a new age of private space exploration.
The launch is set for 08:55 UTC (04:55 EDT), Saturday, May 19, with a backup date of May 22.
