- SpaceX Dragon delivers groceries and Christmas presents to space station. The space station’s six astronauts were getting a little low on supplies. That’s because the previous supply ship – owned by another company – was destroyed in an October launch explosion. Nasa scrambled to get replacement equipment aboard Dragon, as did schoolchildren who rustled up new science projects. Then Dragon was stalled a month by rocket snags; it should have reached the space station well before Christmas. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jan/12/spacex-dragon-groceries-christmas-presents-space-station?CMP=share_btn_tw
