The first privately developed launch vehicle in orbit

For the SpaceX project, which is entirely privately funded, yesterday was a momentous day. The fourth, victorious, attempt to launch was crowned with success and at 19:15 EDT the rocket soared into the sky from the site on the Marshall Islands.

What's next? SpaceX plans to finish the design of its rocket, honing and some engineering moments. Then the planned launch of a 20 meter rocket with 600 kilograms of cargo on board. And next summer, the company hopes for the success of Falcon 9 - the older model, designed to deliver cargo to the ISS. Perhaps in the future, SpaceX will not mind to rush off with Richard Brensen in space tourism.
