Successful Rocket Test on This Week @NASA

NASA commercial partner Orbital Sciences successfully conducted an engine test of its Antares rocket Friday at the nation's newest launch pad. The company fired dual AJ26 rocket engines for the full duration 29 seconds while the rocket was bolted down on the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) Pad-0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va. Known as a "hot fire" test, it demonstrated the readiness of the rocket's first stage and launch pad fueling systems to support upcoming test flights

It will indeed be so terifically exciting and so deeply encuraging when SpaceX's wellconstructed Earth-to-Orbit Dragon Craft, will be fully ready and enough in real-missons tested & prooved, to be concidered enough safe & reliable to transport Astronauts and ISS Crew to the International Space Station!
I'm so looking forward to follow the ongoing continuing plans as they will evolve!

How much is each flight going to cost? Will the cost diminish at all as they get more mature?

Are you sure you mentioned science, engineering and maths often enough?
