Supposed to fly atop their Dragon 9 rocket.

Test dragon 9 flight with dummy capsule supposed to be this month...

Since their plans didn't give me a good sense of scale...



I did the above in sketchup. It's just to get a feel for the size, both internal and external.

June 4th is the inaugural launch of the Falcon 9, if it goes well, Dragon goes later this year.
