SpaceX's Dragon capsule, first privately owned spaceship, set to attempt launch into orbit

SpaceX's Dragon capsule, first privately owned spaceship, set to attempt launch into orbit: "The future of the space travel will undergo a crucial test Tuesday when the first privately owned spaceship attempts a launch into orbit.

If it succeeds, SpaceX's Dragon capsule will then try to reenter the atmosphere - also a first for a nongovernment-owned spacecraft."
