Three... two... one.... Less than two weeks ago, SpaceX became the first privately held company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station, located 240 miles above the Earth. The unmanned capsule—named Dragon, and carried by the Falcon 9 rocket—took off on May 22nd from Cape Canaveral in Florida, arrived at the space station on the 25th, and landed in the Pacific Ocean on the 31st before heading back to Los Angeles via barge this past Tuesday, June 5 (Makes a cross-country drive seem like a very short trip).
