And it is for the liftoff nasa sounds Falcon 9, and everything else nominal until insertion into orbit of the Dragon, which has regularly deployed its solar panels, and is now in pursuit of the Space Station.
A little 'because so there is space for comments, to vent the enthusiasm, externalize the doubts and so on. And a little 'so why do I take this opportunity to congratulate the team of SpaceX, and especially to Marco Villa, the Italian who heads the mission operations of SpaceX.
Update: for information, I copy (but do not translate ...) the statement released by Obama's science adviser, John P. Holdren, after today's launch. Beyond the expressions of fact, it seems useful to further emphasize the political weight of the mission (although we do not even perceive nasa sounds you as a slight sigh of relief?
"Congratulations to the teams at SpaceX and NASA for this morning's successful launch of the Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Every launch into space is a thrilling event, but this one is exciting Especially nasa sounds Because It Represents the potential nasa sounds of a new era in American spaceflight. Partnering with U.S. companies: such as SpaceX To provide Eventually crew and cargo service to the International Space Station is a cornerstone of the president's plan for Maintaining America's leadership in space. This expanded role for the private sector will free up more of NASA's resources to do what NASA does best - tackle the most demanding technological challenges in space, including Those of human space flight beyond low Earth orbit. I could not not be more proud of our SpaceX and NASA scientists and engineers, and I look forward to Following this and many more missions like it. "
"It would be much, much better if the ASI was limited to giving money in ESA .. and funding would be returned to Italian research centers and industry in a manner far superior to what will happen with Flag Projects."
and, considering that the next ESA Council at ministerial level in Caserta decide 'the destinies of the various programs and hence those of several research centers and aerospace nasa sounds industries Italian, wonder if they are known to return to Italy in the different programs (launchers nasa sounds , exploration, navigation, ..).
It seems to me that it would be better if the Italian nasa sounds contribution would go primarily for the benefit of those programs for which 'demonstrated the ability' to "bring home" the investment ..
I understand the parochialism, but the problem is not a north-south or Turin-Rome, the problem is that in Italy there is no money for the space and the few that there are are poorly spent, with logic from the old republic, related to personal interests or party, rather than to look at the interests of the country.
Not otherwise explain why the flagship projects you mentioned (which I remember as having been approved nasa sounds by the CIPE projects SEARCH for the development of competitiveness Italian) are carried out by ASI in order not to finance any research in Italy and in order to avoid the deliberately teconologica growth and competitive. It sounds like a slogan from "grillini," but it is so: the 600M COSMO second generation, more than half will go abroad for the purchase of equipment and launchers, the 100M (o150M?) Of Opsis will help to improve the technologies of the DLR in Germany (shameful) and SIGMA will purchase a commercial GEO satellite, probably from the usual French.
It would be much, much better if the ASI was limited to giving money to ESA, it would cost much less (now 14% of the revenue is used for the operation of the ASI itself!) Funding Requests and would be returned to research centers and industry in Italian manner far superior to what will happen with Flag Projects.
So now that the launch of Space X has failed and we are all happy for the future of the U.S. space program, we might
