What isn’t clear from this article is that Dragon is going to be man-rated. SpaceX may be the first private company with a manned orbital capability, very soon.

Who knows, when they have the Falcon 9 Heavy in production, they might also have a manned lunar capability (if they decide to).

Exctiting stuff.. They took awhile to work out the Falcon 1 bugs, I hope that situation doesn’t repeat on the 9.
