First Commercial Space Flight To Return From Space Today

The first commercial space flight to reach the International Space Station is heading back to Earth. It plans to splash down in the Pacific Ocean around 11:45 this morning. Space-X launched the flight five days ago as a test run for NASA. It is the first private space shuttle to r-supply the station. It brought 1,300 pounds of science equipment, hardware and cargo to NASA astronauts. The flight marks a milestone in NASA's plan to replace its space shuttle program with commercial carriers. The agency will hold a press conference this afternoon.
