Just watching this live on TV. Amazing technology and a shot in the arm for Nasa and space travel in general. I'm sure there will be a link to some video soon.

An impeccable launch and a perfect docking with the ISS all done automatically. I'm sure that Ripley, the dummy pilot is well Omah.

I read that space flight for passengers could be available in months....a flight I won't be making amazing technology though.

I doubt if any of us mere mortals will ever be able to afford it (for a while anyway). I would love to do it but I can see a few disasters ahead until it becomes commonplace.

America's new commercial astronaut capsule will complete its demonstration flight on Friday with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean.

The SpaceX Dragon vehicle has left the International Space Station (ISS) where it's been docked this past week to begin the journey back.

It has a heat-shield to protect it from the high temperatures of re-entry.

Four parachutes should bring it into soft contact with water about 450km from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Splashdown is expected at about 08:45 EST (13:45 GMT). A boat, called GO Searcher, will be waiting to recover the capsule.

Let's hope re-entry goes well .....
