"This will be the 125th shuttle flight and the 36th for Discovery. The two-week mission will include four spacewalks to install the 31,000-pound final truss segment with two solar array wings. The final segment completes the backbone of the station, and the set of solar arrays will convert solar energy to electrical power, providing the capacity to generate enough power to maintain a full crew of six and increase scientific research on the [STS-119] station." 03-09

"A privately built space capsule that's zipping its way to the International Space Station has also launched something else: A new for-profit space race."
"The capsule called Dragon was due to arrive near the space station for tests early Thursday and dock on Friday with its load of supplies. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. run by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk was hired by NASA to deliver cargo and eventually astronauts to the orbital outpost."
"And the space agency is hiring others, too."
"Several firms think they can make money in space and are close enough to Musk's company to practically surf in his spaceship's rocket-fueled wake. There are now more companies looking to make money in orbit at least eight than major U.S. airlines still flying." 07-07
