Rocket Surprise

It was through a "news item" on the front page of Wikipedia that I realised a new kind of rocket has just been launched. I mused a bit on how SpaceX seems to get more promotion than Orbital Sciences Corporation, although perhaps the difference between SpaceX's spacecraft, which can return to Earth and as such could get around to carrying people, and the Cygnus spacecraft (still just a dummy on this first test launch), which is a more conventional "trash disposal" capsule. Still, a success is a success, and one more option to try and keep track of now.
