Basically NASA won't let them until the system is thoroughly proven. How SpaceX is going to prove it to NASA is going to be interesting. A few dummy runs with cargo from the ISS is the only thing I can think of. At some point SpaceX might just retire the cargo dragon and use Dragon V2 for everything....
Have we seen anything from Boeing on their manned program?
Thanks for the link.

It gave me a short 'oh nooo' reaction, followed by 'all is good', after checking details :smile:

That cannot be a good thing, I'm sure.
Very strange! Anyone else? Could it be a function of the proximity of that fairly uncommon majuscule "X"?
