Congratulations to the SpaceX team, whose Dragon capsule became the first privately owned vehicle to dock with the International Space Station. The day when “space trucker” is a viable career option can’t be too far in the future. Perhaps SpaceX can be persuaded to become one of the first official corporate sponsors of the oft-postponed zero-g deathmatch between me and Stephen Hawking. We thought we had a commitment from Google, but then Hawking had to go and make a snide tweet comparing Google+ to the emptiness of space. So much for British cordiality.
