BBC News: Robot space truck docks with ISS (with video)
Europe’s space adventures are getting better and better. Our latest 1 billion Euro toy docked safely to the International Space Station. Well done ESA!
While some people regard this only as an oversized pizza delivery system, some ESA people already see it as Europe’s ticket to human space travel. So far ESA has to rely on the American or Russian rockets to deliver it’s Astronauts into space. It’s about time we get our own space taxi … especially since the Americans will focus on going back to the moon.
The Ariane 5 has shown it’s a reliable delivery system and capable to lifting satellites and supplies into outer space.
