Congratulations to the whole Space-X team. Getting the Falcon to lift off and the Dragon to dock is a huge victory over Murphy's law. There are a zillion things, some tiny, some large that can break, and it only takes one breakage to scrub the mission, or worse. The Space-X team did the required quality control checks, designed out the weak points, worked hard, and succeeded.
It should be remembered that Elon Musk made a fortune in Silicon Valley, and then plowed a good deal of that fortune into Space-X. Clearly better use of the money than Uncle Sam would have made of it had Uncle taken it in taxes. Let's hear it for private enterprise.
