Nominator's comments: Dragon is planned to approach the ISS on May 21st and berth to the ISS on May 22nd. The success of this mission is very significant for NASA, because it means Dragon will be certified to began to service the ISS with cargo, which also means Dragon is a partial successor to the Space Shuttle. --Craigboy (talk) 02:44, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
