Orbital sciences was the first private company to reach orbit but it was with a solid fueled rocket the Pegasus.

Spacex was the first to reach orbit with a liquid fueled rocket and the Falcon 1's primary purpose is a test bed for the larger Falcon 9.

That's true but I think Orbital, although private, was partly funded by the US Air Force.

But with the NASA's COST funding SpaceX gets government money too...

Only 100% private to reach space remains Scaled I guess !

COOOOOOOOOOL !

[NiamOfAsuras]

actually it isnt there is an american company who already have their own space stations but they dont use their own rockets....

[realsupercopter]

Yes, it's true, Bigelow rules !

But even if they are in orbit, they didn't reach it by themself...

...and Virgin Galactic also rocks !
