SpaceX on Friday became the first commercial outfit to dock its own cargo capsule at the International Space Station, marking a new era for private spaceflight.
The California-based SpaceX is owned by Internet entrepreneur Elon Musk.
With no humans on board, the capsule is delivering about a half tonne of supplies and science experiments for the ISS, and aims to return a slightly larger load of gear to the Earth on May 31.
