SpaceX's capsule successfully docks at International Space Station

The uncrewed Crew Dragon capsule from SpaceX successfully docked with the International Space Station Sunday morning, following a milestone launch into space for testing commercial space travel, AP reports.

Why it matters: The Crew Dragon capsule from SpaceX was the first commercially built spacecraft specifically designed for carrying humans to automatically dock with the ISS. If declared a successful mission, SpaceX could launch two astronauts this summer under NASA's commercial crew program.
