http://spaceinit.com This is my way in trying to make a difference, this is not only about spacex, you can get info about many upcoming launches, from countdowns to personalized timezone, from locations to approximate distance to the closest launch. Also I'm trying to be as inclusive as I can and I've build the website with 10 languages now, hope to have more soon and hope to improve the ones that might be not quite correct. I'm doing this to make a difference so everything is free and there are absolutely no advertising on my website. Any feedback is welcomed. Enjoy.

Hello everybody, after a long time i've decided to put live my way to inspire people about space and it is using launch library. It is not finish by any means still working on a lot of features, but first version i think is ok. So if you are interested check it out http://spaceinit.com Please add it to gallery also. I almost forgot i'm trying to do this in as many languages as i can, so if you want a language and willing to help me with some translations (about 150 words and phrases) fill free to contact me.

1. Japanese launches are written under China Academy of Space Technology as agency.
2. Trying to get launches for one company does not get the launches under the old name. Ex. call for Orbital ATK does no return launches, only if you call launches for Orbital Sciences.
3. Could we get a difference between launch provider and the agency that has the payload?

Edit: something went wrong and only a part of my post was posted.

I started a small side project of my own, which uses launch library taking in to account the testing that i'm doing and further uses(if i finish the project) is there any limitation on number of requests?Should i cache the responses from launch library? Thanks for this awesome resource. Keep up the good work.

space.com has an article about the tax incentives for Spacex, http://www.space.com/26755-spacex-texas-private-spaceport.html and they have a video http://www.space.com/22019-will-spacex-launch-from-brownsville-texas-exclusive-video.html with a representative from Brownsville. At about 4:40 the representative tell what they are building in there area, one off them is the offshore jack-up for oil rigs. Is there a possibility the that they might lend one of those to Spacex?

Recently I've seen the Orion pad abort test and I was always under the impression that the capsule would be sitting on something not directly on the ground. I know that VSTOL aircraft have some issues with the proximity to the ground. I know the difference between a jet engine and rocket engine.

• Does the Dragon or any other capsule has performance issues good or bad due to the proximity to the ground?
• Would NASA let SpaceX do a propulsive landing after the Dragon pad abort test (knowing the the parachute test was already made)?
• Does Dragon have enough fuel to do the escape and landing in the same flight?
• How far does Dragon has to fly in
