Bill Posey Praises Space X

Count Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey as a fan of Space X -- the first private company to launch a spacecraft around the planets orbit.

This is a great moment in commercial spaceflight, said Posey on Thursday. I offer my sincere congratulations to the Space X team, and their founder Elon Musk.What they achieved yesterday -- the successful launch and recovery of the space capsule -- is not only a significant step forward, but it is a historic achievement for a commercial firm. This bodes well for Americas future in space.
