Working in partnership with N.A.S.A., Space X Co. launched a rocket with an unmanned capsule on board that was designed to link up with the international space station now in orbit. The effort was 100% successful as the two-man capsule completed a linkup as planned. This was a test flight of the capsule to ensure success as designed. After numerous tests were conducted, after 4 days the capsule separated, and began the brief journey back to planet earth.
The capsule splashed down in the Atlantic ocean and was recovered by waiting ships. The capsue will be examined and all data recovered from the effort will be analyzed by Space X scientists who will then program the next effort to be launched in June, 2019. That mission, will carry two astronauts to linkup with the ISS and live aboard for some time before returning to earth. The Space X launch cost far less than other N.A.S.A. vehicles which had proven too expensive to continue participation in the ISS mission. Mr. Elon Musk is delighted with the company's success rate.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
