SpaceX docked with the ISS!

The dragon capsule successfully docked and delivered over a 1,000 pounds of supplies to the space station after two days of testing maneuvers.  (link)  It is being loaded up with over 1,000 lbs for a return trip.  The first big return cargo since the space shuttle.  This breaks Russia's monopoly on supplying the ISS and makes history as a privately run and controlled venture!
